Macht Schnell Headers for S54
Do any of you have them installed? I'm interested to hear your impressions. My wrecked mz4 had fabspeed headers which put up with 30+ track days and daily driving abuse. yielded good numbers on the dyno as well.
The fabspeed required verrry minor heat shield bending. I'm curious about fitment on mz4 for the macht schnell ones. i have my sights set on supersprint v2 stepped, but until I find a set FS, I'm keeping my options open. EAS posted a dyno sheet with like 30whp gain..I'm assuming that's with a tune factored in. The ceramic coating on them looks nice as well... So if any of you have them, or can add any input, please do!

Others will reply; I recall it being suggested these were junk eBay headers painted black.

this is one of those 'search function' moments, but while i have your attention - do you think gains of oem euro/csl are similar or less than aftermarket headers? not counting stepped, as i believe those have the most hp at peak rpm.

Apparently the owner is a HUGE BMW fan and has every M made under the sun since the late 90s.

I'm in the same boat looking for headers and wondering about the difference in gains, because euro headers can be had for less than half the price of most reputable aftermarket ones.

You'd be hard-pressed to notice the difference IMO

Supersprint stepped headers here for my M
Literally a work of art to look at I wish I had another set out of the car to look at

Remember that our 02 sensors and EGT bunge are super sensitive when move from the OE location, many supersprint v2 and v1 owners have had issues the CEL's as a result, saw you were thinking about jumping into the CP group buy. I want to as well but don't know if its worth the possible headache with all the possible codes and having to switch out my section 1

Supersprints, specifically the V1 stepped, do yield the largest peak gains. A stock car going to a Supersprint V1 setup should see 30-35 hp.

Custom-performance.net made me a custom section 1 using the Supersprint V1 connecting pipe and welding in HJS cats. It's identical in hardware to the catted section 1, but for 2/3 the price. I paid right around $2k shipped for it.

Hey Matt. I was in the custom performance group but for SS V1 stepped on m3 forum but was ultimately informed that the v1 stepped design does not fit the z4m without modification. Do you know if anybody is doing a v2 stepped group buy anytime?
