msds makes some cheep shorty headers for around $225 but i am not sure how much better they are, i have the full length baverian auto sport headers on my 325is and they seem to work ok at $520
Hi all, this is Francisco(Bronx,NY) and i want alittle more juice(horse power) from a 525i 1989. m20 engine. I want header and the chip for it. Can any one help with this? and also the price of it too! thanks again for all the help . I'm learning alot from your guys. Toyota supra(turbo) was my fav. car and i still get it, but this(BMW) is something new for me......ok, Francisco

I can't shot you any pics cause i am at work. But will post them as soon as I can. the horse power I gain was not a whole lot but with a full remus exhaust from the cat-back gives a great sound so I am not sure is it mostly the headers or the exhaust or both combine. But I also have a shrick cam with performance lifters with a host of other Mods. Hit me back we will talk.
maybe he'll get back to you in another 4 years
I don't know what your final plans or budget are, but without extensive engine modifications, you aren't going to get much of a power increase by bolting some headers onto a M20. I do recommend chipping it if you desire to keep it n/a and are on a performance budget, but imo the best bang for your buck on a m20 is turbo. Check out TurboChargingDynamics (http://www.turbochargingdynamics.com/) if you want some real performance out of your baby six. Plus you won't lose fuel economy and you can tack on an extra 100 horses on stock internals.
