Any C32s here with headers only? (no pulleys/ecu)
I know through research that the headers works best withy pulleys+ecu from searching foum
Can someone give me a rough figure of how much power/torque is expected to gain with HEADERS ONLY?
I'm expecting 10-15hp gain
at the wheels

Why would you want to do headers before pulleys on a C32? The pulleys are going to give you significantly more power.
Headers before pulleys on a C55 is more reasonabl since it is NA, so there is obviously no increase in boost

I don't think they test it on stock c32 from memory

KLEEMANN does not offer full exhaust systems, or intake modifications for the C32. The AMG intake and exhaust systems are very well designed. There will never be gains from any kind of intake system, or exhaust system (other than headers). <-my epmhasis - from earlier in the same email discussion:
Header systems $3600.00 (+30HP, +30TQ)
Stock headers are pretty restrictive.
