My car in the shop getting my Kleemann headers installed!!
I feel like an expecting father... My car has been in the shop for about 4 hrs and the install should finish in about another 3.
Wish me luck
C200K now.... C200Kleemann in a few.
Update: Pics below. Already stainless steel blue looks badass
Will try to update with video soon.
The car is stock with 186 bhp. According to Kleemann i should see about 15 to 25 bhp increase. Putting me at 201-211 bhp at the crank. and about 7-12 ft.lb torque.
Seat-o-pants-o-meter feels some gains.. but honestly i was expecting huge gains.. Anyone with headers and c200k with experience?

Well i got the car back... Didn't get to really push her around yet. But will today. Sound definitely sounds slightly more aggressive, but a bit tinny as well. As for power, acceleration now stays within the entire rpm range.
I'm gonna reset the accelerator learning thing and check it out on my way to work. I'll try to post vids and pics very soon.

Also did you get the work done in Denmark, or are you having a local shop install the parts? If they had the 350 headers in production by the time I pulled the trigger on my engine mods, I might have very well ended up with them as well. Post vids and let us know how it feels! Congratulations on the mod!

Nice!
It will probably take your ECU a little while to adjust to the extra breathing room. Have you replaced your air filter with a high flow BCM or K&N yet?

I have heard that with K&N filter have cause to damage the throttle body sensor or something like that because of the oil that is in the filter. I am not sure but I read it somewhere in this forum.

Update: been 6 months since I had my headers installed. Love them the gains feel much more pronounced now than in the beginning.
All i can say.. KLEEMANN thank you. Now anyone know anything on ECU upgrades or pulleys?
