The"E34(535i) is a great car. (YOU WILL NEVER GET ME TO START A DEBATE AS FAR AS WHICH ONE IS BETTER) Headers are scarce. Hartge use to make some. A local BMW club member (Washington DC area Chapter) was advertising the whereabouts of a friend who made some clones in the local magazine last fall. Hmmm. I don't know if either fit the auto.
What are the name brands in Aussie that are available for the rest of the system. I'm starting to put together a wish list for a replacement system for my 535i. I'm looking to go with the O.E. Cat (Anbody now a source?) and for the rest of the system, I'm thinking about using Eisenmann(maybe spouse prohibitive) or either O.E. to center pipe and a custom Borla installation. I like the Borla mello tone sound and real gains(I have one on my e12) Option three is O.E. and Eisenmann rear.
I am now convinced that the "Best bang for your buck" is a replacement chip. See if the E.A.T. chip is available to you in "Aussie" Land. I have been running an unconfirmed JC chip for less than a month now and I ask myself what took so long. I hopefully should have my "Genuine" E.A.T. chip installed by next weekend. LOL on your system. Take some pictures.
