Gents,

I had my latest mod done today at MBM wheelpower. Guess what ? The Kleemann M271 performance header is here and the lovely thing is RHD. Holy Cow, I have been waiting this for ages and is here finally. MBM has imported these headers from Kleemann and is fresh out from the oven. Cannot wait any longer.

Here are some screenshots of the header, the header comes complete with the huge high flow metallic cats with the downpipes.









The fellows from MBM did a great job on the installation of the headers. Man, the drive and the pull is awesome , the car pulls without any hesitation, back pressure is eliminated for sure. Besides, when the car surge forward at high rev, I felt the "G" and my seat belt is locked... The car doesn't behave as if it is supercharge, it pulls like a turbocharge vehicle.

I am very satisfied, one of the best mods I have I must say. Go try it out and you know what I mean !

MBM, two thumbs up for you ! Casper from Kleemann Denmark, if you are reading this thread, you guys are top-notched !

We (LHD) people can only dream of this item~~ SO SAD!!

drexappeal

Why just dream. Kleeman has a LHD version also.

but damn, $2100 is a lot for a header

BabyBenz6spd

Exactly, $2100 for a header is outrageous! We need headers for a I4 engine, not a V12 header.

slkfans

Isn't there another header from those guys from the other forum ? how much is going for ?

drexappeal

Yeah, I agree. But this is what you said:
So, I can't imagine that the RHD version is any different in pricing than the LHD. I was just responding based on your earlier post about LHD people only "dreaming" of the headers.

i wish they still have the k-box and pulley ring for my m111 in singapore.
Have you dynoed before and after your car is fitted with these?

RES

I just ordered the hole K2 kit with header I hope it gives my car a kick. Thanks to Matrix in Portland for the help.

white_w203

are you planning to get the car dynoed?

RES

I think Matrix has a dyno, so I can ask if we can do before and after.

DarCKnight

Where did you order the K2 kit from?

TA-9FF

I don't suppose there is a kit for the M272?

SLKfans, saw in a Feb thread that you were (at that time) very happy about the mgheaders... why the switch to a Kleemann?

RSLK,

There wasn't any flaws on the mgheaders I had before....Only if the headers (4-1) from mgheaders is coupled with the high flow cats and the downpipe will be a perfect match. This leads me into getting a Kleemann kit instead.

I could have just purchased a high flow cat from elsewhere but customizing a downpipe with the cats is a pain in the butt especially for RHD vehicle where the steering is an obstruction, therefore precise measurements and mandrel bend will be involved in this project.....

RSLK

How much did you pay for the mgheaders and how much for the Kleemann pls?

nuclearhappines

Do you have MGheader's contact info ?

hey SLKFAN, I just had the Kleemann header installed for my rhd car. Did you notice if the color of the header changed to a copper color. Mine is copper?

CBlack

Hi, my Kleemann stainless steel header also turned to copper color the next day, wonder why

pugguy2001

Did you loss any low end power. I did. I am wondering if the LHD and RHD design changed any results. . Pic is the RHD header. Did they offer you a custom ECU upgrade with your header purchase? I will take a picture of the header in my car to show the differnce. I think there was a design change?

CBlack

Hi pugguy2001,

I don't feel any different at the low end. I have the same header as slkfans. No custom ECU upgrade only the Kbox and pully kit.

The Kleemann header is generating lots more heat than stock cause I notice the insulator under the hood kind of shrank because of the heat.

pugguy2001

Is your car also a 1.8 liter like mine. I heard or thought i heard there was a 2.0 liter SLK?

pugguy2001

LHD header pictures.

CBlack

Mine is 1.8L too.

Mang;

There is just nothing but room in that engine bay. I too want to install a header. Mine is likely to be a SuperSprint. Did you guys do the install yourself, or did you pay to have it done. What was the cost? Did you have to do any unplugging of the battery to get the ECU to relearn?

PG, did you say you have a RHD car? In NY?
