The headers I'm having built for my SLK32 are the same, mild steel with Jet-Hot coating.

 

Sounds nice, anxiously waiting news/pics...

Out of curiosity (I posed this question earlier, although didn't see it answered), why is it that a 6 cyl Boxster can have aftermarket SS headers for roughly $600? Does the design use less stainless steel than a C32 design, or is it simply that there's more sales volume for a Boxster so economies of scale kick in...?

I think Jet-Hot coated headers for *potentially* under $1k is a great deal - you're essentially selling evosport-style headers, but theirs are 50% more... good stuff Erick!

 

yes, it is simply about volume...

 

The headers for my SLK32 are really coming along. They are complete but still need to be coated. I'm sure they would work on a C32 but things are tighter in an SLK32, it is quite likely that a better design could be achieve with the C32. However, some people with SLK32/Crossfire's have been following this thread so I thought I'd post an update. Pictures and pricing information are available in the thread.

Volume me 1!

 

thought you guys might like some teaser pics...going to pick them up today!

i will post some more pics when i get them in my hands...

 

L(.)(.)KING Good.

 

Ditto

 

THANKS GUYS! i am very excited about the progress now...he is supposed to call me this evening when he is finished with them!

i will do a before and after dyno run and let you know the outcome...it will be this week unless i can't get on the dyno for some reason...

 

wow nice !

 

Very nice. For as good as they look in your pictures, they’ll look even better on my engine.

 

Looking very nice, how many people do you need to get a decent price?

 

So did LET produced these for you cause the links are thru LET? Also if we can get a group buy how far can price be lowered? I might be in but very interested in Dyno results first.................I really don't want to go this far but if hp is good enough I might. You should try to have it tested also on a non-modded car such as yours cause results might vary. Great pics!

 

i don't know about pricing yet, a lot of money has been spent on the prototype set because of different things that we tried...i will have dyno results this week...

 

another teaser pic...

 

Looking AWESOME!

 

always great to have people having mods fabricated first hand especially such mods like this..


Just wanted to ask why not a design like
http://www.supersprintna.com/product...arch_model/192

where the tubes meat in one location

excuse my english as it is not my first language...

 

2 reasons...my goal was to produce something original, not just replicate something that was already on the market...the only way to do a 3-into-1 design is the way that SS and evo did their design...and, i am using larger pipe than those headers, therefore it makes the cramped space that we have to work with even more of a challenge...thanks!

 

can't wait to see dyno results!

 

another pic...i will pic them up tomorrow!

they will be going on the car this weekend!

 

looks very nice Erick!

 

Thanks! i am very excited about the quality already, and these are just the prototype set!

 

When are they going to be ready to install?

Can't wait to see the results!

 

here is the finished prototype!

going to pick them up tonight!

 

Here are some some pics of the headers I have had made for the SLK32. Not as much room in the SLK and the O2 sensors connect to the exhaust manifold.
The last one is the finish product with coating.
