eclectic assortment of cars
That doesn't look much different from the stock manifold.

I think it will fit but do not think and will be suprised if this make any noticeable power at all.
I know it doesnt look much different than stock header and thats why I think its not gonna make difference, but sure it looks identical to that stage 2 header....

They will fit C43, clk430 and clk55 (w208). At that price I'm seriously considering giving it a go, can't go too wrong for the price. If the primarys are larger than std then that's a benifit over standard headers.

Some one needs to try them for the price. I'm already spending a few grand in other areas this month and dyno tuning nexr month. Other wise I'd go for it.

they will ... but they will leak. Another member tried them and found them to leak quite a bit, They used cheap 18 gauge steel.

Unfortunately, AMS does not make them anymore either so options are running thin for that application.


If you wanted to you could bore out the primaries and have them machine and do the same for the exit flange and then ceramic coat the OEM manifolds. That would be a decent cheap option as well (just a thought).

AMS - Where did they leak? The ad says 16 gauge stainless steel with 3/8" flanges. You don't seem to have your facts straight.

Well AMS you have a different special going today! It was $1499 stage 2 yesterday, and it changed to $999 header today. So, do you have the headers for sale? or you don't as your saying in your post?
So, boring and ceramic coating oem headers will make exhaust flow better?? I'm no expert in fluid flow mechanism, so just wondergin!!
