Ordering EVOsport headers on Wednesday!!!

its offical got ok from the lady. spoke with simon@evo via PM and I will be ordering evosport headers wednesday! after my girl seen the price of the renntech headers I got a no go and was put on a budget for headers. So to keep thinks cool at home evosport is were my money is going. I think this is putting my money to better use; getting headers and still able to take a vacation AS soon as I get them in and istalled I will be sure to get some dyno numbers for you all. also Stay tuned for the renntech airbox dyno number. I get it in this week and will have the numbers for you asap.

hooleyboy,

I have to give you credit -- you obviously like your car a lot and you're not afraid to try things.. You post and share your experiences and information which helps other owners (Like myself) help decide whats worthwhile and what's not. Also, I noticed you don't take it personally when others offer constructive criticism. I enjoy reading your posts! Now with that being said, I look forward to your findings and dyno with the Evosport Headers. They're still not cheap IMO but from what I've read are well made. I believe Tump43 has them and showed a gain of 16RWHP. Can't wait to hear what you think....

thanks alot... I'm just trying to keep up with all these new cars coming out that have gobs of HP and since i just got this car not to long ago I want it to stay relevant. Lots of people think its best to save up for the S/C but i'm saving that for last. Plus modding is fun each item you add to your car makes you enjoy it that much more. I enjoy sharing Dyno number with all of you guys because its cool to know the gains rather than guess. I cant count how many times ive searched for dyno results on mods to no avail so if it help other members make a choice when buying thats just a plus. I thought about getting VRP headers but i was not the biggest fan of the design for all i know they very well may be a good product though just not what i'm looking for.

People on this forum seem to be the nicest people ive met on any board yet I may disagree with some posts but i'm just offering my thoughts and its never personal. I hit this board up more than myspace these days because this board has much cooler stuff to talk about than a friends 100 question survey. this place is the best place to get opinions, ideas, and thoughts that matter. Like I know zip about getting wheels and this board has taught me alot whats good and what fits. After all parts are done i'm going to see if i can get into the 12's at the drags so i can keep up (maybe) with this crossfire that laid waste to me the first time i went.

I'll be shopping for some headers for my C55 also soon. I'm considering the Evosport or VRP ones (I need to see a dyno for the VRP ones on a NA V8 first though) or LET and AMS (if they come out with them soon). In a perfect world I would like to get the Kleemann ones but I don't want to deal with deleting my primary cats,fitting the downpipes, and ECU reprogamming to trick the O2 sensor.....

hooleyboy,

Do they supply you with new gaskets also or do you have to go elsewhere (Exhaust shop or MB dealer)??

What price did you get them for if you mind me asking? I'm curious in the price difference between Renntech, Kleemann and Evosport! Thanks
