presumably you're referring to M6 European Headers, since the US spec M6/M5 parts are the same. It's unlikely the euro parts are an easy bolt up. Generally headers will give a little more high rpm power, probably not noticeable seat of the pants, though they might sound better.


The euro headers will gain little, if anything. I do believe they bolt up to the US catalyst, but I'm not 100% sure. Korman Autowerks would be the first place I'd inquire about that.

The Euro E28/E24 M5/M6 made 286 HP because they did not have a catalytic converter, and they had higher compression and more aggressive spark advance.
