Look what I got......... photos!!!

As some of you may know, I've been looking for the Kleemanns boost kit and headers. Well on Friday, I called Kleemann USA and found out that they had 1 boost kit left but they had just sold the last headers earlier in the week(thanks BIGjohnny ). Well Rick told me to call back 30 min later to make sure that there wasn't one more left. When I called back low and behold they did have one more left,...... very last one. So I went there today(I live in the Springs) and got them and took these pics............... enjoy.

Congrats man! Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility...

EDIT: Is it just me or do some of those welds look kinda sloppy?

Congrats... but i find something very strange. Why is tubing #2 and #3 two pieces. From what i've seen and from my header, only #1 and #4 are two pieces that's welded together.

Guess you got the boost kit before me, congrats!

Also... your Kleemann Headers tubing #1 or #4 has three parts. Either way, still Kleemann!

You're right,..... and I don't know. I'll stop by Kleemann and ask them tomorrow. I guess that's what happens when you get the very last one. But for the price I can't and won't complain, and like you said still Kleemann.

Since ya'll really want to know here goes....... about to open some eyes with this one. Well I got the parts directly from Kleemann USA as they are based here in Colorado Springs and got them at a discounted price because it was the last of their inventory for m271 engine. The headers cost $1100, the boost kit $1400. Kleemann USA will be doing the install........ which will cost $600 and includes before and after dyno, so I will post results when installed. That's why I mentioned that I can't complain earlier about the price; $3100 grand total for parts, install, and dyno. Now.. I won't get the install until next month because my funds are low right now so bear with me.

It would be disappointing if he doesn't get at least +30HP.

I'm hoping to get around +50 hp. Rick at Kleemann said that each part gives around +25 hp so to expect around +50hp. But we'll see once it's dynoed.

Damn, Hawaiian was before me on the booster kit. Now i know why i was on hold. There's none available now unless you're willing to pay 2295 from Denmark. Have fun with kit!

"Thanks" and yea, I had it on hold over the weekend because I couldn't make it on Friday so they held it through Monday for me til I showed up. Talking to Cory from Kleemann today, he said they can still get the kit from Denmark as mentioned above, but it will be a special order, requires a 50% deposite and will be retail plus shipping(from Denmark). I guess that's where you get the price of 2295 that BIGjohnny was quoted. It's the same thing for the headers as well; don't know a total price though.

Well I talked to Cory from Kleemann the other day, and he told me that because the headers are hand made, there may be minor variations from time to time. He did assure me that it will definitely not affect performance.
