Besides the sweet DIY tutorial, I’m amazed you got your camera in there to show all that so easy! Props bro! 🤙🏽
Did you reuse the old bolts to bolt them back onto the block? Also which gaskets do you recommend to use
Hey man, did you manage to take both the exhaust manifold out?? The bank 1&2 they said that the long one idk which one that is, that it was difficult to remove and it was too big, they had to lift the engine up a little bit to make space and then pull it out. How did you do i it? I couldn’t see it properly
Hi , they need a instant remap (flash the ecu)? or you can go running the car to te ecu remmaper?
with the socket size. OG fam
that's wild that the bottom of ur stock headers that connects to the rest of the exhaust isn't gone from rust. I just had this issue the other day that the bolts pretty much fell apart from rust and was causing a exhaust leak. I had to take the whole exhaust off, cut what was left of the bolts off, then heat up the threads of the bolts stuck in the headers with a blow touch and knock them out. shit was a fucking project.
What rims are those they look real nice
The worst part about you saying you couldn't talk that day is you saying lug nuts they're lug bolts bubba but all together thankyou for the video made my life easier by taking the wheel off not many other videos tell you to do that
So you toke them off threw the bottom or top
I noticed they dont have a hole on top to screw in the top oxygen sensors 🤔 . How did you deal with that ??
the hole could be located lower, prolly and USA version
Wher did you get the headers from ?
What part of mexicali you from
I like that you used common hand tools for this job, meanwhile i have alot of electric impacts and ratchets and even a $500 set of torx, and im scared to work on my own car😂
Just dive into it!
Please don’t work on your car unless you have another one or else if you get tired and can’t finish and or you rush through it your gonna fuck up. Ik from experience fucked up a clutch on my car had to redo it but thankfully I had the bmw as a “spare” car killed me to daily it till I fixed the Z I have.
just dont do something out of your comfort zone and expect things to be alot harder and take a lot longer than you expect
I feel ya, I am nervous to do my valve cover
Great video I did the same install but without removing the tire. All bolts patiently can be removed from the top then jack up the car to remove headers from the bottom. I did have a question did you cats come lose at all? After having my headers installed for 4 months the cats came lose and started clogging my exhaust and weird rattles from the honey comb cats.
No rattles or issues with the cats so far. I also removed the headers from the bottom and yeah lol. A lot of patience with. The bolts
N5X Garage do you have a tune and your secondary delete? How many miles so far and are you getting any o2 lights?
Secondary cats deleted, no tune yet. With the headers on, around 2k miles and no o2 lights
Nice job bud, very thorough!
What was the ground cable grounding if i may ask? Engine to body?. Also does your new headers have a sport cat, or what is inside the "swollen" piece? Thanks
It's engine to body ground, and the headers have high flow cats. Thanks for your comment!
Cool thanks champ
how can i get ride f my CEL?
Where did you get your slotted rotors from? Looks good!
Bought them online, stop tech rotors I believe
i bet they're on wrong wheel
Did you have to remove the passenger motor mount in order to remove old cats and install new ones??
I didn't have to remove the passenger motor mount, might make it a tad easier if you do but you should be fine
N5XG thank you
The muffler place I took my car to when it had a leak in the flange just cut the flange and welded my old manifold straight to my mid pipe so im gonna have some fuuuuunnnnnnnn
I bought a set of these headers used, are the gaskets it came with the same as oe gaskets? and is there any special hardware or gaskets for where the headers connects to the mid pipes or in general that ill need to source before I install them?
Should be same as OE, no special hardware but there is two more gaskets that connect the mid pipes to the headers. I would suggest getting them from FCPEuro since they offer lifetime warranty
Same for e90?
Just installed my active Autowerke headers should I add exhaust wrap becuz of the very small gab between bank 1 and bank 2 ??
If you have the time to do it, go for it, otherwise, you should be fine
N5XG only concern is that the two headers are fairly close to each other that’s why am considering getting an exhaust wrap
@@carlosvasquez-hn2zu should still be fine, drive it around for a bit and check for temperature. If you feel it's too much then wrap them for peace of mind
Aren the autowerke headers catless? I looked at them and I’m not sure if I should get those, due to the legality of having no cats
@@oraciogarcialeonjr.2802 yeah they are catless
every one of my studs came out on the headers when I went to unscrew it lmao you lucky
Did you end up taking the manifold out the top or did you drop them both out the bottom
It was easier to drop them off through the bottom
@@N5XGarage ok thanks for the info and great video I appreciate the help
@@soler824 thank you for watching, if you have any other questions feel free to ask! Have good one bro
N5X Garage did you have to remove tge motor mount
@@isaiahjart no need to remove motor mounts
Any drone in the vehicle after installing these?
No drone at all
So this header comes weld with a catalyst . How you gonna do if some time of the year you have to change it ?
Same way you would do it with the stock unit
@@N5XGarage after installing did you have any check engine light? Or your O2 sensors fit well ?
@@DespiertaVe has to be code out after
Will this header work on a 2007 530i (n52)??
Yes it should
Is it the same method for the 2007 328
Yes sir
So you didn’t have to take out the passenger side motor mount ?
Would definitely help but didn't have to
N5XG appreciate it man
Link to headers?
How long did it take??
Around 4 to 5 hours
Nice video! Was the power upgrade worth it?
Yes, you definitely feel the difference right away
N5G thanks man! Your comment motivated me to buy AA headers, will be installing in a week. Wish me luck lol
@@edwardrodgers281 good luck my friend!
@@edwardrodgers281 any videos on your AA headers? I want to order mine already lol
Bimmer Boy do it bro! The installation wasn’t too bad however it is time consuming. I just downloaded my bpc tune on Friday and the car pulls harder after 3.5k rpm
Is this the same process for a 2011 bmw 328i xdrive
Yes, same process
Would you think Installing headers without a tune up would be a waste ?
@@exoticm3 to get the best results out of aftermarket headers, I believe a tune up would be more than necessary
N5X Garage apologize for all the questions I just began working on my mothers e90. Would you have any recommendations on the e90s appearance mods? Such as angel eye headlights etc..
@@exoticm3 Not a problem at all. I'll share what I know to help you out. In regards to asthetic mods. That will always be based on your preference. Do you want the sport look, stock but clean look or the aggressive look? Does yours come with the angel eyes?
Do you know how much power you were making before and after
Not an exact number but was a notable difference
@@N5XGarage ok, I might do this to my 08 328i as well, seems like a great upgrade, thank you
Definitely Worth it, hope the video helps you do it yourself. Any questions feel free to ask!
Do you need a tune for this?
Not necessarily but definitely if you want to fully take advantage of the upgrade
Any check engine light?
None at all,
Did you do this with stock exhaust?
Exhaust has resonator and muffler delete
N5X Garage sound clip?
Check my channel for the other video that shows how it sounds
@@N5XGarage
Does it pop and bang
mine does xd
@@noscopeguy3789 who cares
get a burble tune
@@dflex4180 i meant to answer his question, if you remove the cat it will pop
Your control arms are bad just by looking how much movement on the wheel
shiiiit 2:26 loool
Where's your parking brake? Don't know how to use it? Car can roll!
Good video, but those shitty intro musics are not needed. Just sounds ghetto.
