edit: gizmo?? sum1?? tnt branch not fitn my e36 328i :(

[sykotic]

i bought a tnt branch but i think its for the e36 325 instead of the 328.. there was a pic posted by gizmo a while back showing the 328i tnt headers next to the stock headers and a set of e46 headers.. or something like that.. i just wanna c if my brancj looks the same.. all it has is "BBO4" on it.. its from tnt in germiston.... thanks guys!

the bolt pattern should be the same if i'm not mistaken.

How much did you pay for it?

If I am not mistaken the branches for the 325 and 328 (e46 and e36) should be exaclty the same.

Here is the pic in any event:

The TNT branch for 320 323 325 328 is all the same!

mines looks the same! but the mechanic was trying to fit it... took out the std ones, the branch touches on the steering rod when the cars jacked up. like there's no space. the std ones are short and have a curve that allows for the steering rod.. the tnt ones seem to not have that curve.... is it just my car or is there a way around this? my cars jus parked off now coz i thought the branch was "wrong" :bawling:

Ok so i just had a look at my branch again... seems a little different... both the tnt branches look like the bottom tnt branch on the pic above (thanks sankekur!!).. the middle pipe in both my branches bends under the other two pipes... but i dont think that will make a difference.. both my branch pieces arnt exactly the same though so i know i didnt get two of the same pieces..... maybe theres a way of installing it?? does anyone know if it just fits right in were the old manifold came off??
and all the bolt patterns match up on the std one and tnt...

does the "BB04" on my branch mean anything? maybe it supposed to be BB02 like the pic?

@freerider: R1200 from tnt in germiston

maybe this will help.. its a pic of my branch..
the middle pipe of the one on top is bent a bit more than the imddle one on the bottom branch

anyone?? :bawling::bawling:

Are you sure your engine/gearbox mounts haven't collapsed? Then again, those don't look suited to get around the steering rack, but I haven't seen headers for E36's.

 

[sykotic]

im not sure what i should do.. if its the right headers but my mech cant fit them, or if its the wrong headers

 

[Gizmo]

They supplied you with the wrong headers. BB02 are the ones you want.
