I was all set to get my comand next, but since flip went full force with his project, I guess I'll have to wait a while for my comand (Sorry Steve and Wanda).

I'm back from the header install. No dyno right now, sorry, as soon as I can get one done, I will.
As luck would have it, we had tornado warnings all day and winds 30-35mph...my car was all over the road again.
First, the pics:

![](http://www.erikcohen.com/mercedes/kleemann/kleemann install 13.jpg)
![](http://www.erikcohen.com/mercedes/kleemann/kleemann install 14.jpg)
As you can see, only 1 & 4 are two piece.
Ok, so I'm not 100% sure because it was windy and I wasn't really pushing her, but I swear it feels like she lost a bit off the line, but pulls harder in the mid range and at the higher end of the band. Like I said, I'm not 100% sure so don't jump all over me just yet.
The sound is certainly different. She has a low rumble at 1K, a whine till 4 where the rumble comes back for a second, then a whine again. She sounds unreal. You can drive the car where you don't really hear a difference, and if you push her, you hear the rumble.
I should have the camera mount mid week and then I'll take the car out and push her. They are calling for snow tonight, tomorrow, thursday and friday, so it seems wednesday is the only chance...I'm hoping for good weather.
That's it for now, I'm exhausted and going to sleep...

very nice... how does the exhaust look in the back?... a small fitment error with header can result in issues with the tail pipe...
looks great, what cat are you using? thanks for the pics!
