The Active Autowerke N52 Performance Exhaust Header is specifically designed for BMW chassis which utilize the N52 inline 6-cylinder engine. With our performance header for the N52, you will be able to increase the exhaust flow of your BMW while gaining additional power u2013 something that is difficult to accomplish on these vehicles.
This header was engineered to promote optimum flow and eliminate any restrictions that could possibly rob the engine of extra horsepower. Available for a number of BMW applications, the Active Autowerke N52 Performance Exhaust Header should be one of the first upgrades owners elect to make. Not to mention, the tremendous effects can be felt almost immediately.

Created With Performance In Mind
As is the goal with building any header, the purpose of designing the N52 Performance Header was increase horsepower and improve overall performance. Our header does a tremendous job of freeing up untapped horsepower that the BMW N52 is capable of producing. After many dyno runs and recorded results, the data validates the Active Autowerke N52 Performance Header as must-have BMW performance part for a noticeable and powerful upgrade.
Material & Durability
Suitable for either naturally aspirated or supercharged applications, the N52 Header by Active Autowerke is made entirely of 100% 304 stainless steel. With this header, worrying about durability is a thing of the past.
Installation
Is installing the header difficult to do? Not at all! Robust exhaust flanges with recessed mounting holes make the installation of your N52 Performance Header a breeze. With a few quick turns of a ratchet, you will be well on your way to feeling the additional horsepower.
NOTE:u00a0Active Autowerke GUARANTEES that each and every N52 Performance Header will be a precise fit. Every Active Autowerke N52 Header is test-fitted on our N52 motor jig as part of our quality control.
Hardware:
As far as mounting hardware is concerned, this system is absolutely complete. The BMW N52 engine uses a single-use oval shape gasket to help seal the exhaust manifold against the exhaust port u2013 a floating design that also self-centers the exhaust flange as it is being torqued. Reuse of this gasket is NOT SUGGESTED which is why we provide you with SIX new gaskets as part of the installation hardware.
Also included are two fiber gaskets for where the header meets the remaining sections of the exhaust system. Copper locking nuts for the header to mount against the cylinder head and mounting bolts w/nuts to secure the header to the exhaust system are included as well.u00a0
NOTE:u00a0The factory exhaust catalysts MUST be removed in the process, making this solution recommended for off-road and racing applications ONLY.There will be a CEL without Active Autowerke software upgrade

Strengthens the weakest link in your BMW E36’s drivetrain.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE HAVE BEEN UPGRADED AND ARE NOW MADE FROM STAINLESS STEEL SO ARE NO LONGER POWDER COATED.
No matter how well-engineered, every system has an Achilles Heel and in the BMW E36 driveline it’s the single, main mounting bolt that holds the differential in place. Until it doesn’t, that is.
This vulnerable diff bolt can fail very easily under any extreme driving condition. If youu2019re lucky, the bent or broken bolt is able to be extracted. If you’re not, the entire diff needs to be removed in order to extract the broken bolt. The Active Autowerke DSB kit comes with everything to make this installation complete; a new Diff bolt is also included as part of the package. Our DSB can easily be installed by a qualified tech in under an hour and will eliminate this BMW Achilles Heel problem forever.
If you own a BMW E36 M3 powered with a turbocharger, supercharger, a Track Junkie or just love to work on your 0 – 60 time. Then leave the worries to Active Autowerke to cover your Achilles Heel while you concentrate on the road ahead. This is just one of the many performance BMW parts that we develop so that you can,“…COME PLAY WITH POWER…”
“…So deserving, I think every E36 with a M50, S50, S52 engine should have one installed…” Mike Hugh, Vice President, Active Autowerke.
