The aFe Twisted Steel Long Tube Header for the 2008-2013 BMW 128i (E82/88) with a 3.0L inline-six engine is a high-performance exhaust component designed to enhance engine flow and power output. Crafted from 16-gauge 304 stainless steel, these headers feature near-equal length 1-1/2 inch tubing with thick flanges to ensure a leak-free seal. The true merge collectors and optimized tube lengths are engineered to eliminate dead space, reduce turbulence, and improve pulse control, resulting in better exhaust flow and increased performance. Fully TIG-welded with smooth curves and larger diameter tubing, this header helps maximize horsepower and torque while maintaining durability and corrosion resistance.
Designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for the specified BMW models, these headers are suitable for street and performance applications. They are intended to replace the factory exhaust manifold, providing improved exhaust scavenging and flow efficiency. The kit includes the long tube headers with true merge collectors, ready for installation on compatible 2008-2013 BMW 128i models with the N52 engine. This upgrade is ideal for enthusiasts seeking increased power, better throttle response, and a more aggressive exhaust note in both daily driving and track use.
