I dont know how much youre willing to spend but 995 for brand new headers and downpipes is unbeatable... Used would probably cost you 6-700 anyways, I cant see them getting any cheaper used unless theyre warped or cracked lol

Guys,

Thanks a lot for your responses! I PM'd X55, hopefully he still has the car and is willing to part with the headers alone.

The $995 deal is very appealing however ill probably need to hold off for a while at that price for right now since I still have to factor in the cost of labor.

However for $6-700 id be all over it in a heartbeat - after labor it would fall right within my budget.

Im gonna think hard about the $995 deal however if any headers pop up on anyones radar please let me know, would really appreciate it!

For clarification: The $995 deal is for long tube headers correct??

Thanks!

Not necessarily "long tube" because of the design but the downpipes that bolt on to the headers basically delete the primary cats and act as "long tubes" . I just bought mine this week and they are getting installed tomorrow. Cant wait!!

Long-tube headers are just that- the primary pipes (The pipe for each cylinder) is "long", in that they typically run all the way down to the bottom of the car, and the merge-collector is placed as far down stream as possible- usually under the car. Long-tube headers on a N/A car will make about 10-15 more HP and about 30 lb/ft. more torque. The only down side is they will make the car signifncatly louder, especially under wide open throttle. KLEEMANN's headers are a good compromise between a very nice power gain (about 30) while maintaining reasonable sound levels from the exhaust system. Long tube headers are typically much more expensive as well. KLEEMANN doesn't offer long-tube headers for the CLK55's & C55's- only the mid-length header which are in great price + great gain I recommend anyone to get these as im getting in it in few weeks later

BTW MBNiko,i've been up to date to ur thread,im waiting for ur result after installation with some hot pics GOOD LUCK

Just buy them new from Kleemann. In the 3 years I've had my car, I've only seen one set of C55 headers for sale. The price from Kleemann is the best deal out there for these cars.

That is NOT a bad thing at all! These cars do not sound very aggressive from the factory.

The Kleemann headers are also good for more than 30hp on these cars. The stock primary cats are VERY restrictive. 2.5" exhaust front to back will net even more power.

And when u find them used for 700$ its better to pay a little more and get them new,ask corry maybe he can give u a little discount,he's a good guy and reply so fast,so ask him,u wont loose anything....GOOD LUCK

I Advice u to get them new,because if someone want to sell,they will definetly has

And don't forget that if you want to use them on the C32, the down pipes that come with 55s don't fit C32.

Thanks for all your input guys, I've enjoyed reading all your responses.

Yes- Im asking in reference to the 55. I have a c32 that ive owned for 3 years now but picked up a 55 over the summer and im more interested in modifying the 55 than the 32 because i just love that v8!

You're absolutely right, its very difficult to come by a used set of 55 kleemann headers simply because theyre a great mod performance+sound wise and I dont think too many people revert back to stock after such an enjoyable mod. I think i might reach out to cory and hopefully he'll be able to help me out on the price.

From your experiences, how much does it cost to put the headers on and to redo the exhaust with 2.5'' pipes all the way back??

@Niko - i cant wait to hear your vids and see your pics!!! I can imagine how excited you were and how much fun you must be having with your new headers! Im also up to date on your thread and looking forward to the new posts tonight!
