Headers for M271 - How many of you is still interested.

Pictures attached! I will be doing some dynoruns and i will post some results soon. Price of the headers will be $ 1400. Depending on how many people interested price may go lower. These are in stock and ready for shipment in about 4 weeks from now.

Those look very different than this one that some MBKlasse members have put a deposit down on.

I don't see 2 sensor bungs on the header posted above. Also the design is different, JP got a great response out of the entire powerband and a lot of torque - will this header perform similarily? or will it perform like Kleemann, losing low-end and gaining high end?

Also, what about the promised 2-piece design to allow a test-pipe to be fitted?

Drex,
These are 2 totally diffrent Headers. I was approached by a company that makes these headers. They are willing to send me a set for testing. I am not sure how these headers will peformed until dyno testing is done.

They are two completely diffrent headers. I am not sure of the powergain from this header, until dyno testing is done. I'll keep you posted. Regarding the first O2 Bungs, It will be there on the production unit. I'll already confirmed it with the manufactures.

I guess this solidifies our non-existent relationship with one another about CarLAB, right? We can't both be working on headers and be part of the same organization. Is this the part where you yell "surprise?" Congratulations, I hope it was worth it.

JP, you haven't been keeping us updated on the progress of your header, so this may gain more interest.

We all know you're studying for dental exams, yet we need a bit of an update. If these headers dyno well I'm sure there'd be a few MBKlasse members that want to switch their deposit to purchase these and not wait, your header has missed a few deadlines.

Per mutual request, see a previous thread, flip (mig888) can no longer discuss business ventures.

huh? What happened, flip used to have a sponsor account and I asked the moderators at that time if we can discuss Carlab performance mods that may be in direct competition with Evosports pulley and ECU still in development.

I searched the last 2 pages of flips posts, can't find a reason why anything changed????

Guys,

I am still waiting for the headers to arrived, so we can do some testing. I know the interest has been very high. I got phone calls asking about these headers everyday. So I will keep you guys updated on these, again i will not sell these unless they make significant power increase. For $1400, it better be worth it. Am i right??

As to Flip, nothing personal. I simply informing people about this headers, for all i know it may not be as good as the ones you develop. Who knows??

We got 2 people interested and thanks for those who called the shop asking about this headers, I have your name on the list. As soon as I dynotest this parts, I will contact you with the result.

I know its been very hard for many of the M271 owners to extract maximum power from this engine. I just want to let you know that we're working as fast as we can to bring these upgrade available to you as soon as possible.

We want to make sure that the parts we made is tested under everyday driving condition, before we make it available for sale. So many issue that we have to encounter and solved. But I can guarantee you that the outcome will outweigh any inconvinience caused.

And once again guys, Thank You for all the support from all the C-Class community.


Regards

Darwin W
