PSA: 2004 C32 AMG at Audi Wynnewood (southeastern PA)
Just a quick "public-service announcement" - there's an 040 black on charcoal, 2004 C32 AMG for sale at Audi Wynnewood (western suburbs of Philadelphia, PA on the Main Line). Google can get you to their website.
Car has a little north of 101,000 miles (mostly highway). Factory options include bi-xenons and COMAND. It has H&R sport springs with #4 pads in the rear for a (relatively) level stance. It has basically new Sumitomo HTRZIII's on the factory 17" staggered wheels. It has about $5,800 worth of Kleemann upgrades installed by an authorized Kleemann dealer in 2009. It has been primarily dealer serviced, and was covered by a comprehensive (and wonderful) service contract until July of 2013. So, basically, it got whatever it needed, maintenance or repair-wise, whenever it needed it. Paint is decent, given the age/mileage - in hindsight I wish it had a clear bra but it is what it is. Interior is pretty solid, but has some wear areas.
Dealership asking price is $13k, as-is no warranty (obviously). No affiliation with the dealership, nor monetary incentive/involvement in any of the vehicle's transaction(s) now or into the future. I just happen to know the vehicle's history pretty intimately, so I thought I'd share for any prospective buyers out there. Good luck and happy hunting.

Hey Lenin - no, stock cams.
It's basically Kleemann's "32 K2" spec - Kleemann's crank pulley kit (I think it's a 178mm kit - solidly built/engineered though, I can attest to that), Kleemann's headers (which I believe you already have), and Kleemann tuning.
It's amazing what these cars trade hands for these days - they're probably worth more as parts-cars than running cars...

The lineup is a good mix of capabilities, so it covers the bases well.
Always enjoyed the C32, but it was just too small for my liking when having a rear-facing convertible car seat in the back. A sporty, four-door sedan basically became a two-person vehicle... driver plus toddler. The passenger front seat crammed far enough forward to accommodate the car seat made it practically unusable to any front-seat passenger, and my seat was almost all the way back so the rear seat behind me wasn't much use either.
That is no longer a problem with the Audi...
Is it as sporty and nimble as the C32? Heck no - but roominess, luxury/tech, and practicality won out for my DD, and I must say I'm really liking the A8L so far.

That's too bad. Kleemann cams would have made it even more special. Still, a very nice car. I believe Kleemann crank pulley was made by Fluidampr. And the headers (I do have a set on my car) are in reality E55 headers with one runner removed. I've seen non-Kleemann 2002 C32s go for $8K-$9K recently. You would think that a 2004 with K2 would easily go for $11K-$12K.
The headers are exactly as you described. M113K headers with one runner lopped off.
One would think that a C32 with a solid engine, trans, S/C, etc would easily part out for over 9 grand. This car, for example, just had the entire S/C replaced by MB roughly a year ago, due to the pulley bearing rattling.

Not sure of the manufacturer, but it was an OEM style pulley with a "rubber" HD. It did not appear to simply be an OEM pulley with a larger ring welded on, though - instead like OEM in design but just larger.

You mention the S/C replacement too. My car has about 143k on it right now, original S/C, and been running the EC 185mm pulley for about 75k miles. I know it'll happen one day... guessing that's an expensive replacement.
