No before/after dyno? Group buy with no actual results is kind of putting the cart before the horse.

Hey Josh, considering what's available for the w208 and pricing this is a great deal. AND anything is better than the stock ones.

It being the only thing available doesn't mean there shouldn't be proof that it works as advertised. 5-600 bucks and a lot of work installing isn't really worth it with no proven gain. Unless people just want to get them so they can say they have headers.

Not to mention that it being an M113 motor, the bottleneck isn't really the header, it's in the exhaust side of the head itself.

Have you ever taken apart your 430 or a 55 motor for that fact. Its the headers just as much if not more. I don't work for EC or have any affliction with them. I spoke to them and they told me the same thing as in the original post. dont like it, dont buy it. I just trying to help out other forum members that were interested in purchasing these headers.

I actually have had the heads off. Have you taken yours apart for the "it's the headers just as much if not more" "fact?"

No need to question my knowledge and jump all over me for asking legitimate questions. Questions that should be asked by anyone who's about to drop money on a mod.

Asking for a dyno sheet is not at all unreasonable. If anyone is willing to join a group buy on a "performance" product with not even a dyno sheet...well perhaps the seller deserves their money more than they do.

Member MBGator has a set of headers he was looking to get rid of. I'm not sure what kind they are.
