Sorry, I haven't taken any new pics yet. Car is almost done. Only needs coding for the new ECU. Engine starts and idles with my old C320 ECU though. The headers will probably be finished a couple of weeks after the coding is squared away. It won't take long to make the headers since the flanges are all done.

Hey, so what are you going to do with the old C320 motor? I wonder what Josh could do with it. A port and polish or something, I wonder what kind of horses could be rung out of it.

Josh said that the equal length headers would provide only a marginally higher HP gain than the unequal length, about 3HP difference. The cost to produce equal length headers would be a few hundred dollars more, about $1800 for the equal length headers. They are going to be made of mild steel, with a ceramic outside coating and thermobaric inside coating. Hopefully with the lower price, people might be more interested. I'm still going to get a set for myself.
Oh yeah, the primary tube diameter will be 1.75 inches in diameter. The primary tubes on the Evosport shorty headers are 1.625 inches in diameter. Larger primary tubes are better for FI motors.

Sounds much much better than my current C32 AMG (Brembo) brakes.
are rear Alcon brakes in the future mods list ?

unfortunately, my brakes don't have the correct pattern as well.

Sent requested PMs. SCN coding is on all 2003 and newer ECU software. I don't know much about it other than it's a real biatch to code since it's implementation. If you're going to replace the ECU on a 2003+ car, you will need the SCN number to program the ECU.
