Headers?
![](http://www.evosport.com/public/clip_image002.jpg)
We, at evosport are looking to make headers for V6 Mercedes-Benz engines. In order to keep prices low we would like to see what kind of interest there is in the community. Our headers will feature following:
1. One piece 3/8’’ (10 mm) head flanges for long, leak free life
2. CNC machined, billet steel collector flanges
3. 1.5’’ (38 mm) primaries for 2.6L and 3.2L normally aspirated engines
4. 1.75’’ (44 mm) primaries for 3.2L Kompressor engines.
5. HiTemp anti-corrosion coating.
Headers will be very similar in design to our V8 headers. We will need 10 people to commit, pricing will be somewhere between $1500-2000.
Thanks,
Brad

Thank you for your reply. Let me probe you a bit:
1. Would this answer change realizing that supersprint is more expensive and has no coating?
2. Would this answer change realizing that you would likely wait an average delay for product is 8-16 weeks from supersprint?
3. Would this answer change realizing that supersprint will make less HP?
This is all valuable information, so please feel free to answer candidly.
Thanks,
Brad

I'd be up for a group buy. Are we allowed to use those words again?

Are the supersprint headers the same for the M111 and M271? The site says "All C230 Kompressors." I assume no, but could be wrong. What are the hp gains for them anyway?

Gains would be 5-10HP min. over Supersprint. The SS does not have a great collector, and this is worth that HP alone.

C'mon all! I know you are all just joking around, but in fact, Ricky is not representing evosport. He is getting a set of headers himself and asked to see if he could help get a better deal for other board users. I gave him the opportunity to do just that. I would expect you guys to be appreciative of an opportunity to get a great product at a great deal!
Thanks,
Brad
