exhaust header size
« on: December 14, 2008, 07:22:39 PM »
Is there any difference in the e30 m42, e36 m42 and z3 m44 1.9(?) header tube sizes? Are they interchangable?

They will all bolt up to the head.
As far as interchangeable goes, I would guess it would be what differences there are between models for teh first exhaust joint.

I can't help you with tube sizes though.  I do know the ports on my M44 head were smaller than the ports on my M42 (early E30) head though. I don't know if this has any bearing on the header size though.
