6-cyl headers
has anyone here installed OBX headers, or any other headers? (specifically on a 325i sedan)
I'm thinking about purchasing some but want to know what kind of power increse and tourque decreases you get. Also, how difficult are they to install?

From experience, save your money. Do you really need cheap headers? Nah. When you're older you'll look back and say, "Damn that was the stupidest thing I ever spent my money on."
I know, I've done it too much.

Good points, I already have a custom cold/ram air intake, M3 catback exhaust, a dinan chip, custom front strut bar, M3 springs, rotors, pads, and braided brake lines, and a pretty complete 98' conversion. So I guess I'll get a sterio or do an M3 styling conversion.

if you port them a bit more, yeah. You just have to weld something over one of the 02 sensors on it I think as it is an OBD 2 header.
The SS auto chrome headers dont seem that bad, there is a group buy on those, or something pretty similar over on bimmerforums. I was thinking about getting them if it is worth it..
i know they have to be slighly modified to work with obd1...i think it may just be having some of the o2 sensor bungs welded shut....obd2 has 4 o2 sensors vs 2? on obd1. other than that i believe everything else lines up the same.

ss auto chrome is junk...unless you can weld and repair them yourself when they crack dont buy em...as for how well they flow

anytime you open your exaust up it will always take away from your low end torque. however it will give you more in the top end. but if you get headers then dont get cheap ones. but i think everybody else already said that.
