[sexydylan05]

depending on what car u have. u wont get the most power gains from an exhaust. people usually pay for the sound and weight savings

Not worth it, spend your money elsewhere (SUSPENSION). If you want exhaust sound just buy a universal muffler and get it welded up.

i have an 86 325es and i want to know if i should spend the money for bigger headers or something.

no offense or anything but if you are looking for powergains from a 2.5 4cyl...ya exhaust and things like that will do it, but not compared to a faster car obviously.

Who said anything about a 2.5 I4?
The boy's got a 2.7 I6; but you're right, it's an economy engine.

im not trying to sound like im better than anyof you guys cuz im not . personally i love the e30 and always wanted an e30 m3. and i want a 325xi for a winter car. im just saying dont expect alot of power from little exhaust or anyother mod. it all comes down to you, whether or not u wanna pay the money. later

Actually, you can get close to 20 horsepower from a chip alone on an Eta.
That's about the only modification that'll make such a difference though.

About the least-expensive headers you'll want to bother with are a little over $250, but you can pay as much as $800. If you really want a sports car (which is not quite what a 325es was meant to be), and you'd spend the dough for a really nice set of headers, then just buy a 325i motor and do a head conversion. There are all sorts of conversations about that in this forum, you might search for them.
