Fabspeed BMW M3 E46 Sport Headers (2000-2006)

These Fabspeed Sport Headers replace the factory units on BMW M3 E46 models from 2000 to 2006 with long tube design for better flow and durability. Constructed from T304L stainless steel they deliver 25 whp and 28 ft-lbs torque gains while saving 3 lbs over stock headers.

Popular Upgrades Top-selling header and manifold products include long-tube headers from BBK and Kooks for V8 muscle cars and trucks, stainless steel shorty headers from Stainless Works for tight engine bay fitments, high-flow cast iron exhaust manifolds for diesel platforms from BD Diesel and ATS Diesel, and turbo manifolds from aFe Power and Invidia for forced-induction builds requiring optimized turbo positioning. What is the difference between long-tube and shorty headers?
