Think this header will fit post facelift 3.0/3.0Si cars?

Was browsing aFe's website to look for some goodies to buy and came across this:



Doesn't seem like there's a ton of header/exhaust options out there for N52 engines.

There's almost nothing for these cars.

Yep. That's why we gotta raid the parts bin for other BMWs. I'm contemplating the aFe header for their E46 M3 for my MZ4 Coupe. the pickings even slimmer for N52 based Z4s, since the earlier M54 Z4 3.0i and 2.5i can at least use the same from E46es.

Still no guarantees that the N52 header from aFe will fit the post facelift Z4.

My coupe gets barely any upgrade choices. It's frankly terrible. I have to modify my car like an M to really get any parts. I love this car, but I really can't mod it.

The perk of the catted headers is you will probably gain 5 hp and still pass emissions. You won't change the sound of the car very much, so they're great if you like your exhaust setup as-is. I love the fiery sound catless headers uncork, but catless headers add volume and a little rasp too.

aFe has outstanding customer support. I called them about screw specs for my intake's lid, and aFe mailed me some new ones at no charge, even though It was my fault they were lost. It saved me a trip across town to the hardware store, and with working 80 hour weeks lately, that extra hour they saved me earned them a lifelong customer.

Only bolt on solution I know of for 06+ Non-M is Supersprint and it's very pricey.
