Budget headers question

So I've seen many of these on the 'ol eBay, and was wondering should the headers still fit the w204, and I would just custom the rest of the exhaust? Here's a link, can't find a set for c63 specifically:

I just can't justify spending $3-4,000 on headers, I've used obx on some of my previous cars with no problems.

If I remember correctly from reading other posts, the headers for the E63 and CLS won't fit on a C63 due to routing issues. I would ensure they fit. There was a thread about this a while ago, maybe try searching that one out or calling OBX directly to ensure they will fit.

There is also a thread going around about a group buy for the ILT headers for $1999. That might be worth the extra few buck to ensure proper fitment.

C63 headers are specifically designed for this platform. Non-C63 M156 headers will not clear the steering rack without modifications. You can always go all gorilla and beat it into clearing the rack.
