Ive got a set of their e34 M60 v8 headers fitted to my '93 540iA. The ss304 design looks very similar to these for the e39 v8.
I wasnt sure if theyd really be equal length, but since receiving i have measured. Theyre definitely equal length. The mid flanges is to make them easier to fit. You dont have to lift the engine to fit them
I havent done any dyno tests yet, but the car seems to have gained some noticable power mid to upper rpm.
I'm very happy with mine. Just my two cents.

The fact that there is only 1 header there, and its been mirrored to show as a set is a huge concern... If you look at the photos closely you will see identical reflections, markings, etc... definitely not 2 sitting there...

You dont have to lift the engine to install headers, you have to lift it slightly to get the OEM manifolds out.

Those look like garbage, the collector design alone speaks volumes

I got my e34 OEM headers out by just putting the car on stands, dropping the sway bar & front sub frame. Once you remove the starter motor you can do the whole installation from beneath without lifting the engine even once.
