2012 C350 Headers

Hi All,

I've spent quite a bit of time searching for headers, but not having much luck...

I have found several options for the C350 with M272, but not the C350 with the M276. Can anyone help me out on this? Is there really not any headers available for this car?

I've continued to scour the internet and reach out to more companies. No dice...

Is a custom one-off build the only option?

Supersprint told me that their R&D department could create headers if I shipped my stock exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters to them. No word on the cost.

GPHeaders said they could send me a PVC mockup kit and then build custom headers for around $2200.

Looks like custom headers may be the only option and looks like it's going to be pricey...

Unless that “C” has a “63” after it, I would hold off on getting headers.

There’s a reason they aren’t being mass produced for the M276 engine.

What reason would that be? Lack of a demand signal from C350 owners, or something else?

The price of parts and install vs performance gains isn’t there for the consumer so the cost of R&Ding headers on the platform won’t be recouped, it’s not a smart venture.

We would have see them already if a fabricator had made some decent gains.
