JVT headers

I'm copying this thread from my posting on M3forum but will discount for Z4M owners;

I took these off my Z4M to return to stock. I bought them used from another Z4M owner so they've been successfully mounted to at least 2 S54s. They have some scratches where they were rubbing on a suspension mount, a somewhat common problem with e86 fitment. The rear O2 sensor you see will be included since I can't get it out, shouldn't be a problem if you have a bench vise to hold the header while you wrench (I don't and I don't feel like dealing with it). That sensor was throwing a code so I would assume it is dead and replace with your working sensor.
I'm basing my asking price on the following thread since it was the most recent JVT sale I could find, selling for $350 in about an hour;
http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showt...ht=jvt+headers

Given the above mentioned items I'm asking $300, as-is, just as you see pictured and with everything that you see pictured. I take paypal only and first to pay is the only 'dibs' I recognize.

Thanks

Man, I thought these couldn't be purchased online anymore? Where did you find them?

[dorifto88]

EGG-CERRENT price !

[BlackMoupe]

Also true. (Shoots self In foot)

[mfanatic325]

SOLD pending final (hook-up? ) pricing! Get back to me Nate!

[Nate2046]

These are SOLD
I have to say I'm feeling tremendous guilt for not advertising them here first. Had the impression the e46 crowd was more appreciative of the value than Z4M owners. Sorry guys.

[BlackMoupe]

I think this is the 2nd sale record...first one was about 7 minutes.

[mfanatic325]

I've sold on the MR2 forums before in literally 30 seconds

But anyway...Nate, keep me posted on what that other buyer says. If he doesn't mind you refunding him, I'd like to buy this for my buddy

I wish I had seen this earlier today, but my bimmerpost app crapped out on me and didn't think something this sweet would come along. Grats to the lucky guy who hopped on this!

wow! another fast sale. cool. i'd be surprised if you ever didn't get a hook up

[mfanatic325]

So they were sold to a guy on the M3forum, but I begged Nate to sell to me instead, since I'm also buying a SS uncatted section1 from him. I told Nate that he could save a little bit on shipping since both items could be combined and shipped out together to me @ one zip code. Asked Nate to refund that M3forum guy and say that a "close friend" of his actually wants them

Basically, now they're mine (well, technically they're going to be Dorifto88's headers, since I already have JVT's. But he doesn't have a Paypal account, so I'm frontin' the cash for him ^_^ ).

Paypal sent Nate

[Nate2046]

SOLD for the second and final time! Glad they can stay in the zpost community

[ZStig]

sob, you'd think with the amount of time I spend in this place, I'd be fast enough to catch this on time

[mfanatic325]

good thing I saw this and begged Nate and got lucky with that other buyer. Otherwise my friend Dorifto88 probably wouldn't be doing headers

[ZStig]

can i have them for $350 pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaase?

[ZStig]

are these z4m specific, or were they e46 m3 headers modified to fit?

They are made for the e46 but don't really require any modification. On some cars, seems like a toss-up as to which, they will rub slightly on the passenger side control arm bushing. You can see the surface scratching in the second pic just to the right of the o2 sensor. The best solution is to heat the area with a torch and make a slight dimple with a hammer. And when I say slight, it really won't take much. I know one of the $900 headers come with that dimple already there.

are these the same as the generic headers I see on ebay for the e46 m3? other than the manufacturer?

More or less, yes. JVT has a reputation for being manufactured to a little higher standard especially as it concerns the fitment between header flanges and exhaust ports. You're especially lucky if you can find a used set that has been heat cycled a bunch of times as they're even more likely to fit up easily. The other Ebay brands are somewhat of a gamble to my understanding. Did you read through this thread?

Lots of good info and wrh3's diy write ups are the best.

[mfanatic325]

Yee JVT's are the only ones off of Ebay that can be trusted. The others are hit or miss. I doubt my friend would want to sell them, even @ $350. Sorry Waffles
