Also my car still has warranty on it so I need to consider that.
I was thinking Kleeman but get confused reading all the different comments.
Kleemann M113 headers and cat-delete downpipes are a very nice upgrade from the stock manifolds, IMHO... and a relative bargain at just under $1,500 for full 304 SS in a MB/AMG aftermarket part, from a tuner who's been in this game forever and is routinely considered amongst the very best of Mercedes tuning. Plus the peace of mind of a 1 year, unlimited mileage warranty on their stuff doesn't hurt.

One caveat, you'd probably want to get the matched tune Kleemann offers for their headers, which will run you an extra $8-900 I think (unless they're offering a special - sometimes they'll throw in the tuning for free, or at a greatly reduced price, when coupled with hardware).

Another member just had this done - RLx02. Maybe he can chime in on his experience and observations.
