Kleemann Headers not available for C32?

My dealer told me the following:

"I spoke with Kleeman, they no longer offer a stage 2 for this car (headers are not available in the US).

Super Sprint makes headers for the car but they are not emissions legal, they are for track use only."

Do you know if this is true?

yes, it is true, i talked to kleeman a couple of days ago about their upgrades...they do not offer headers in the US(they have only sold one set in the last 5 years so they quit carrying them) and they said that cams will only give you 10-15hp(not worth the cost in their opinion)...

Looks like Evosport is your best bet, but you'll need to wait till they get them in.

kleemann will man a set of headers for the car they said but it will be a V8 header with one collector off and close off the hole... They said that they would warranty it against defect given the added work required and that it would cost a bit MORE than a V8 header -- very expensive. EvoSport seems like a steal compared to this!

Who cares about CARB legality? If you get pulled over, a cop isn't going to hassle a benz for mods. You'll pass visual inspection no sweat. You'll even pass if you get sent to a test-only smog test. The only way you might run into trouble is if you get sent to a state inspector.

Really - I get hastled about the headers on my Jeep all the time even though they are CARB legal. I can't imagine what would happen if you say they are not CARB legal
