We N52 Guys Need A Car For Aa To Make Us Headers

nemex12 · 03-10-2015, 03:13 PM

I've been talking to Andrew Fish from Active Autowerks in order to get em to make us headers for our n52 powered cars. I've seen several threads in this regard but nothing has materialized. I know that we would welcome the extra power so let's do something as their gains seems a sure thing according to the headers they've made for other bimmers.

we need a car in Florida to do so

m3griff · 03-13-2015, 05:14 AM

So, AA has N52 headers already - right? I guess the current ones won't work on our cars. I'd love to see someone do this - and if I lived near them, I'd be there now with my car. Did they say how long it takes to work through this?

Thanks for updating. Hope someone volunteers.

they told me if someone could send his headers, they could adapt em. maybe that's an option we should consider if noone takes a step forward

2006E85 · 03-13-2015, 03:47 PM

I wish I was back in Florida. I'd be camping at AA right now... Maybe Monday Morning.

tengo ganas de desarmar los headers y mandarselos por correo, eso siempre sería una opción...

sbottum622 · 03-16-2015, 09:16 AM

How close is this to happening? I would definitely be in on this...

nemex12 · 03-16-2015, 06:13 PM

as soon as we get a test car, it should be the same header already in production for the 3 series crowd with some minor adjustments.

WickedNy · 03-16-2015, 07:39 PM

What would be the general price range? I would've done ss headers by now had it not been for the price to hp ratio not being justifiable to me

nemex12 · 03-16-2015, 08:04 PM

guess 950 as that's what they charge for the 3 series

Aries326 · 04-04-2015, 10:35 AM

Headers plus ESS SC kit = heaven. I wonder how many whp we'll be getting.

How long would it take for them to customize a header for our cars? I've got one week off in June I can use to drive down to Florida, leave my car at their shop for a few days while I use a rental to go on a vacation with the wifey.

nemex12 · 04-05-2015, 10:51 PM

that would be great, I'll send em an email tomorrow

seventy5 · 04-07-2015, 12:32 AM

I've been looking for this for a while. Glad to see somebody willing to go this!!!!

this is what they told me:
"It totally depends on what needs to be done. If its just flipping the flanges around it should take about 2 days.
Best Regards"
it shouldn't be that difficult given that we think it's just the flanges that make the difference. let us know if you can arrange for your car to be the fit mule

Well, I just found out I won't be able to do it the week I have off in June. I'm off June 8-15 but my son's kindergarten graduation is on the 11th. I don't think I'll be able to drive down, enjoy Miami while they fit the headers, tune the car and then drive back in time.

Aries326 · 04-24-2015, 03:51 PM

I got a reply from AA. Can anyone supply a picture of where the header attaches to the exhaust? I can't get it done now. I'm working the next two weeks. He's not sure how long everything will take to get it done.

Z4 stock headers look like this

Aries326 · 04-25-2015, 11:54 AM

Are these your headers? Did you install the super sprint headers?

Yes, Supersprint headers + 3" single custom catback. Still fine tuning the exhaust but it's nearly done. Will get to test it out first weekend of May at Watkins Glen. I'll be sure to record & upload some videos afterwards but I can tell you it sounds ridiculous just starting her up lol.
