In that case you may want to fit a different [[Steering#Other_Linkages\|alternative steering linkages]] to ensure you have enough clearance.

		+	[[320i]] and [[325i]] systems are interchangeable as long as they are of similar ages. In the BMW inventory, the centre sections of these two models are the same, and the pipe bore is identical; 45mm. However, on the 325i the rear exit pipes are 60mm compared to 45mm for the 320i; this has no impact on the performance of the system, since all other pipes are 45mm.

 ![[Alpina]]
 |Commissioned by Sytners and built by Janspeed, the Alpina manifold is a RHD-specific six-branch. Yields modest gains (5hp) but can go further with surrounding mods.
 |Recommended

 !BTB
 |Over the years have developed a range of impressive manifolds, all of which yield proven power increases of up to 15bhp. Current model is BTB3
