Re: Euro header alternative... (archive)

Does anyone have any experience with MSDS, Inc? They manufacture headers for Porsches and a few other vehicles including the BMW 2002 and some 3 series BMW's. Anyway, I contacted them to see what it would cost to have them produce a header similar to the euro header for our cars. Here is their response:

"Sean, sure thing, we will need a donor car for the first prototype for approx 3 weeks. The headers could be produced at runs of 15 sets,min. If you can get 15 enthusiasts lined up for headers, let me know and we can set up shop time for this prototype.

These would sell in the neighborhood of approx. $650/set

Thank you, msdsinc."

Would anybody be interested in this? Is there anyone that could donate their car as the prototype? They are located in Glendale, CA. Maybe we could work out a deal where the person that provides the donor car gets their headers free.

What other mods should you have in order to take advantage of a header such as this? Is the 282 cam a necessity? If so, that may make this upgrade a bit too expensive. What else is different on the Euro engine? As I understand it, that is a 272 cam with a 270 in the US version.

Maybe there is a better way to spend $650 on our engines, but I saw/heard a Euro M6 at Road Atlanta back in October that sounded so incredible, I've been looking for a set of euro headers ever since. He had a custom exhaust that included cats from a 5.0 mustang and was able to pass GA emmissions.

What do you guys think?
