I emailed Jerry at Eurocharged, waiting for him to email me back. My header fabricator recommended using a two V band flanges but that would require people to cut their stock down pipe. Most people want a simple bolt on type deal.

Flanges, how hard it can be

I make those by my self, automatic flame cutting, lathe and two threads, easy job for metal worker.

Yep, I have had all sorts of stuff custom laser cut for my car projects over the years.

As I said if the headers are good then I don't think people will mind too much having a flange welded on if they absolutely have to. Its just with cheaply made poor quality headers you want to be able to easily go back to stock. kleemanns customers didn't mind.

GREAT NEWS. I found a fabricator that has experience with Mercedes and can duplicate them and the flange. Still working out pricing.

Good good, keep it up!

Awesome! Keep us updated buddy I'm down for group buy!

They got the headers. They are going to use a manufacturer that requires 30 sets to be made. I am going to install the first set on my car and dyno before and after. I would expect these to be out by mid summer.

JakeMS3

Where do we buy them from when they're ready?

clyons0203

Prototype should be completed by April. After that I have to plan a trip get my car there to test fit and dyno.

JakeMS3

Any update on this?

clyons0203

I asked for an update today. Waiting on response. Headers should have been shipped in today. I still have to schedule a date and time to drive 8 hrs to have the install and dyno completed.

JakeMS3

Where is the install and dyno going to be?

clyons0203

At their shop in Texas

JakeMS3

Just post up a thread for anyone local to their shop that wants to be a test car.

Any update on these headers?

Eurocharged was selling their last new sets of Shorty Headers for $399 which was just posted here in past week.

not saying one product is better than the other (EC vs Evo) but since Evo no longer makes them there is a risk you have with having a 3rd party to re-create the Evo's and then deal with quality issues etc with a reproduction version when for $399 you get a proven reliable product maybe up/down some HP or TQE but not enough in my mind to off set the risk of quality.

i'm awaiting my EC header install this week and will report back. interested to hear how these Evo shorty header reproduction turns out!

These are for the V8

I plan to do the install and dyno Memorial Day weekend. These are for the V8 55 engine and they bolt on to the stock cat.

JakeMS3

Cool man sounds good. So when all is said and done, who will be selling the headers? And is a price set yet?

clyons0203

These are the prototypes. Raw Stainless Steel. The productions units will come polished. There is a coating option available at a cost to cut down on heat. Install and dyno set for Memorial Day weekend.

Wow, those looks cool! Thanks for making the effort to get this done.

+1.

The only thing I worry about is the flanges are not connected like MBH or the Evosport headers (See below). But if the fabricator is already took this to account, it shouldn't be a problem.



If the Flanges are not perfectly aligned, they would be difficult to install due to having to physically align Stainless Steel and the added stress of the alignment on the headers add the risk of cracking. I should know, I bought headers with a similar style flange setup and it was a no go (See Below).

Those are sexy!

suicidal4life

Yep. Definitely keep an eye out for that. My first set of Kleemann headers were misaligned and had to be sent back for replacment.
