Looking for Downpipes/Headers & Race Cats - 4.8is
 

Hey Guys,

Who else better to ask then you, I am looking to alternative solution to the SUPER-SPRINT Headers & race cats to the 4.8is.. Reason?? Supersprint must be high on drugs to think people will pay close to $8000 for those parts still.. They should discount them at half price and consider it done.. but nope.. no go..

So do does anyone here know if there are any other manufactuers/compnies that made downpipes/headers for the 4.8is ?? or race cats??

These two parts below I need at decent price ($3000-4000) - not $8k... If any of you guys know if MAGNAFLOW or any other companies make these please.. let me know... :x I found some stuff here but does not look like anything for the 4.8is -> 2006 BMW X5 Performance Exhaust Systems at CARiD.com


I need:

1.) E53 X5 4.8is Supersprint Tubolare Performance Headers - Turner Motorsport

2.) E53 X5 4.8is Supersprint Section 1 Metallic Sport Cats (fits with Supersprint Headers) - Turner Motorsport

Alright guys I found Hamann headers that someone wants to sell for $1700 for the 4.6is and 4.8is - PART: 50 053 200

Does anyone know if the Hamann headers can plug into the STOCK Cats? or will part item 50 053 300 (Hamann SPORT HIGH-PERFORMANCE CATALYSTS ) also be needed??

The headers are $1700 from a private seller.. but the CAT's I cant find for any cheaper then $3,500!!! Ouch!! so can the HAMANN headers work with the OEM Cats?

You can get high flow magnaflow cats for like 200-300 for both. Then just take and get welded in place of factory cats.

My buddy ran them on his 4.8 with no issue.

nice!!!!!!!!!!!! perfect!!

Where in the world did you find a set at that price:yikes: I want one too now lol

Grab those headers! I put headers on my previous 3.0 and it made a big difference. Huge difference. You'll get a beautiful intoxicating, if not pure menacing, exhaust note on and off throttle, and it will compliment all your other mods. Slap on some good aftermarket cats and never look back!

The guy said he has the HAMANN CATS as well. (brand new) - he wants to sell me the headers & the cats for $3k ... Should i shell out the extra $1300 for the Hamann Kats?? or go with other ones for less $$?

France - ebay 1499.00 euro


I have seen in a thread back that supersprint e39 m5 headers might work also? Not sure but might be worth looking into.

I'd be careful ordering from overseas ebay, a lot of shady sellers. Couple of my friends got burned like that by ordering from germany through ebay. Also, make sure you find out if you have to pay any duties or customs taxes.

Does anyone know what's the diameter on Hamann ones and Supersprint headers?

Are these really for the 4.8is? PN 50 053 200 (p.6) is listed for the 4.6is?
