New E36 M50/S50 Equal Length "Shorty" Headers

The factory cast-iron exhaust manifolds originally fitted to M50, M50TU, and S50B30US-powered E36s are notoriously restrictive, heavy, and prone to cracking over time. Turner Motorsport Equal Length "Shorty" Exhaust Headers are a direct bolt-on upgrade, engineered to maximize exhaust flow, encourage exhaust gas scavenging, and give your M5X that crisp, aggressive BMW growl without sacrificing low-end torque.

Unlike OEM cast-iron manifolds, Turner Motorsport's mandrel-bent stainless steel design ensures uniform pipe diameter throughout every bend to maximize exhaust gas velocity and eliminate restrictions. Flow-optimized, equal-length primaries promote exhaust gas scavenging, providing a noticeable boost in overall engine efficiency. These refined tubes merge smoothly into cast collectors, engineered to maximize long-term durability and exhaust gas flow.

Built to sustain years of high-RPM abuse and high-temperature exposure, these headers feature thick, precision laser-cut flanges that resist warping to guarantee a permanent, leak-free seal. Every joint is meticulously TIG-welded for exceptional structural integrity, ensuring the headers can handle intense heat cycling without cracking. As a true bolt-on upgrade, they drop directly into the E36 chassis and mate perfectly with your factory mid-pipe without the need for custom fabrication.
