M42 header?

[sandyland]

I've committed a sin and now I'm paying for it.
Bought an E36 318is as a daily run about while my search for a mint E30 continues
and the exhaust manifold has cracked. What I would like to know is since the m42 was fitted to the E30 will an nice stainless one fit my E36, I've noticed the intake is a different design but is the exhaust?
Also, any suggestion for good quality brands?
Thanks

Pretty sure the E30 and E36 manifolds are different.

The M42 manifold is very good as-is, no real gain from changing it.

If you need one I have an E36 318iS fannymold in the shed I'm wanting rid of, no cracks and in v good condition.

Cheers,
