do you know what kind of gasket they put in (metal vs. fiber)?
i hope it was metal... because i had the fiber one in for half a day and it totally melted and everything sounded like crap because it was no loger sealed properly... so i had it replaced.

Well I just drove the car for a bit longer today and I would have to say that the gains are definitely noticeable. I have the sprint booster but the torque seems to kick in at a lower rpm (about 3k or so) and keeps on pulling through each gear. Still disappointed in first gear though, but that was always a bit of a problem; it usually got most of its kick when shifted into second. This is definitely worth the money

i drive more aggressively now and use more gas... but if i set it to cruise on the highway i get the same mpg as before. city driving has gone down though.
i definitely feel like the engine breathes a lot more freely now.

mpg with Kleeman Headers
Ive had them for 1 week now and 1 tank of gas. The mpg is what i wanted to check first. Ive mainly driven the same way i did before headers, well i tried at least from what i can tell, i don't think there was any affect on mpg at all, but if there was, its so small i wouldn't be able to notice....

Anyways, just ordered some new rubber . . . love the Michelin PS2's but little too expensive to replace every time, ive gone through 2 rear sets already
Ordered some Bridgestone Potenza RE760 sports :thumbup: Anybody have any experience with them?

The Potenza's are 200 bucks cheaper than PS2's so yeah Im gonna try these and see how they go. I kinda just picked em for the price since Im basically driving on slicks Read the reviews on tirerack about them and saw some pretty positive feedback.

lol. I am the same way w/ my headers... Its not much louder, but enough to tell the difference. It makes me happy So glad so many more companies are putting out mods/good deals for mods for us! Its a good time to be in a w203 :P

They are quite nice tires. From what i can tell by driving on them, they seem to fair better than the ps3's. Ride quality has improved, not that much road noise observed although i cant really hear it with my exhaust set up, side walls seem a bit tighter. Still to see how they fare with tread wear, overall a very nice tire. Oh and the tread design is top notch, makes it look a little sportier
