Shorty headers
Hello all

I'm thinking about getting some shorty headers for my R63. Are they worth it as an upgrade? I know the long tube headers are popular among the durum, but there are none made for the R63 so I'm looking at the shorty.

I haven't seen anything posted here which shows that shorties make more power. That said, the Kleeman or RENNtech versions certainly merit consideration at a used, "good buy" price. I'd do that in a heartbeat if I had an R63. The interesting thing to determine is what difference in sound tubular shorties actually make. That could be reason alone to install a set.

Really, no gain on the shorty headers? If that's the case then I may have to re think on what I want to do with this car

Lucky guy. I've never seen a R63 in real life. In my country i guess these R63 AMGs are as rare and mythical as 500 WHP running only headers and tune.
