They're absolutely worth the money. I bought and installed them (7 hours labor) and they're really nice. Great sound, and a lot quicker on the throttle. Only problem is the wife's new car is not in yet so I've had to "lend" it to her for now cos she won't drive my W211 diesel. It's killing me!

did you have ECU reprogrammed? I have a tech that will do header install but obviously will need to send ECU somewhere and that means I wont have a car while that is completed. nothing is ever easy I tell ya

I did. Done by Eurocharged here in Houston. Worth the pain, even if you have to send off, methinks.

talked with Chris at Kleeman , they actually do the reprogamming on ECU for you, anyways will be ordering headers in next couple days. So was wondering what is the best exhaust note setup? deleting primary cats, or secondaries or resonator or none at all. Curious I dont want to go overboard. Anyone have any opinions on it? Pros, cons on certain setups.

In SC we have no smog regulations, no inspections, no requirements. its like a free-for-all down here. I'm suprised we have license plates

C55 AMG T with Kleemann K2 and some stuff: 414 hp and 562 Nm :-)
When fitting Kleemann headers, primaries always go away.
I have secondaries in place, but no resonator.
The sound is AWESOME, but little bit TOO much so I´m
going to put the resonator back on. It´ll be loud enough
I think when hitting the pedal but I´ll get rid of the drone
when cruising the highway.

So, no primaries, keep the secondaries, the resonator and
rear mufflers in place. That´s the way I´m going.

The headers come with downpipes.
The exhaustsystem shall be cut exactly where the downpipes
come down, cut in a 45 degree angle approx.
Then welded together!

After welding it looks like this:

Yes! that sounds just like I'm looking for. Definitely dont want the drone on highway to be too obnoxious otherwise I never hear the end of it from wifey.

smog question again

So for those living in cali, when it comes to emissions if I plan to add 200-300 cell cats will it pass smog or will it have to be "passed"?
