Lmao damm she’s a killer for it to go 300,000k & what mileage did u get it at ? I have the same car at 155k miles & I been thinking of doing the same as u , ima do headers with muffler delete
Tanner Wilson replace the strut mounts with the stock strut mounts, the maxspeedingrods one are garbage, since the stock ones have bearings it will get rid of the noise, if ofc you still have the stock parts
The only difference between the m54 and m56 is the ccv system is built inside the valve cover on the m56 and the ccv is built in the intake manifold on the m54
Thanks for your vids. Great info. I just deleted my cats and installed performance headers on my 2003 e46 (325i). I noticed that when I was putting my engine mount back in it wouldn't quite fit because the headers were in the way. I was able to use a hammer and tap the plate down just enough for it to fit. But the header is sitting right on it. Is that normal? I don't remember if the cats were touching the mount or not.
Michael Smith The BMW owner said this: I would tell him we didnt take the mount off at all we went in through the top with one and the bottom with the other and mounted them separately. However it does ride on my heat sheild for the chassis.
yungcake1 the secondary air pump is only used to help warm up the catalytic converters that were in the headers. Aftermarket headers don’t have the cats so you don’t need the air pump anymore. Be warned you will fail emissions with aftermarket headers if you live in a state with emissions inspections
Most people, when buying a 2000's e46, are getting it second-hand off Craigslist or a used dealership. There isn't always a 330 available. When you're on a budget and you can't find the one you really want, you end up settling for a 325 before your money dwindles and you get stuck with a fucking Toyota camry.
@@jaxonmanley1663 i agree i was "lucky" to get my manual 150k km 330i with rare window shade feature and everything for the "low price" of 8800 Canadian. now used on kijiji which is craigslist just canadian just today i saw a 300k km 330i that auto priced at 9k while 328i's and lower are still 7k for a decent one that's manual too.
Secondary air pump is gonna have to come out anyways cuz ur going catless headers right !!?? The sap is pointless all it does is warm up ur cats for 90sec when cold start so just delete it bro duhhh come on amateur moves
Just tried to give some basic information for people on a budget. However since you seem to have experience what should my air fuel ratio be at sea level?
Definitely glad i saw how they look wrapped. Im about to get my headers now with the manzo section 2 pipes.
Can you link the headers you bought. I am trying to not buy ebay headers that require new bung fitment and cutting etc.
So you did not need to remove the engine bolts to remove the exhaust manifold
Dude by far best fuckin video on this shit 😂get it ole son
Hey guys where did you buy the header? How much pay
Hey did you have to modified the motor mount because I. Having a problem with mine it won't line up right
So that’s the m54 engine same as a e39 530i correct ?
yes
Update on the car! She finally blew up at almost 300k miles. Damon is now looking for another project BMW. Thanks for the comments guys!

@@TheGoat-sr5ez think she made it to 289
How did it blow up?
I see u got xspeeding rods coillovers, did you have problems with the front struts rattling like hell ? If so how did you stop it
Tanner Wilson replace the strut mounts with the stock strut mounts, the maxspeedingrods one are garbage, since the stock ones have bearings it will get rid of the noise, if ofc you still have the stock parts
It’s definitely a rough ride
I have the exact same year car and I can't find headers mine are clogged (looking for cheap eBay ones) can I get the link?
Josue Gonzalez did you ever find anything? I’m looking for some too
@@DanWeinel Same. Did you ever find any?
@@satisfiction I ended up selling mine before I fixed it. Sorry mate
Moviste la sonda landa? O tal como venia lo montaste?
Did you end up having to weld the headers to fit the o2 sensors ?
Copper dosent rust as easy that’s why you see Mercedes and bmw’s with copper bolts and screws
I was wondering did you guys get a CEL after changing out the headers? If so how’d you fix it
Felix Romero yes, it’s mentioned in previous comments. No rear o2 sensors. Clear codes
I live in St. Pete how much would it cost to have them installed locally?
How long did it take you guys start to finish and did you have to weld new bong holes for the 02 sensors?
Royalty_Stance_Nation a few hours. No just left them
Was this automatic?
Did u run a special bung/fouler then for 02?
Greg Holub The owner said: Same o2 bung. Im not running the downstream o2 sensors. Runs good still a little lean. Car burns oil from the head seals.
Will headers fit this model but with a m56 engine ?
Joshua Sanchez yea
The only difference between the m54 and m56 is the ccv system is built inside the valve cover on the m56 and the ccv is built in the intake manifold on the m54
if your esporty6 doesnt smoke when u rev are even revvin 🤩
Where did you order your headers?
U can look them up on ebay
@@jsmoov27 They're not on ebay anymore???
Wow, sounds good! Day and nite difference.
Siiick bro, where’s that vid of changing the bushings ?
Allan Banojakedjian coming soon hopefully

Michael Smith And thank you
What headers did you get?
Monroy Music eBay
No cats just headers will it still past emissions
IDK. Florida doesn't really check our emissions
Sensor work
Why not leave the secondary air pump on?

You will have a little bit of a rough idle at start up for about 5 to 10 seconds but other than its kinda useless to have lol
You get a check engine light??
oh yeah
But that's a code that can be deleted, but will it come back? Is it because the secondary air pump is not connected?
You can have someone with the big scanner to delete the code and youll be set.
Why even fuck with the 2.5l why not get the 3.0l...

Super rare color e46
Doesn’t show me sh*t
We’re the headers worth it answer that and I’ll subscribe lol.
Brandon Wright yes he’s extremely happy with them.
The cats are so restrictive and heavy on e46s..
No shit it’s quite u got technically two sets of resonators and a huuuuge muffler
