Anyone using the M30/E34 headers from Ireland Engineering?

Are there any downsides to them?

Pretty good price.

Johan,

I purchased a set last week (ceramic coated) and they will be installed on my engine this weekm, hopefully. My mechanic seems pretty pleased with the quality so far. I will post feedback once the car is running.

Thank Walt, looking forward to a more detailed report.

We purchased a set two years ago for a CSL race replica . .
and needed to notch the frame rails for clearance.

With 3 Weber 45 DCOE carbs the collectors are too small for a race app and we have since then removed them, cut the collector back to the 3 tubes.

YMMV . . .

Here's a pic of my headers from IE. I am not creating a race engine; however, I will be running ITBs from an M5 (s38) mated to an M30B35 with custom cam and Megasquirt. I hope they are not too small, as Mario experienced, for my application. We should know by the end of the week as my mechanic gets the rest of the exhaust sorted and then gets the car on the dyno.
