I'm surprised. The Kleemann headers aren't all separate tubing. Two of the tubes interconnect.
Aren't equal length headers like the MKB or EvoSport ones a better design ?

The kleemann headers vary from body style to body style, there are 5-6 different header styles to fit the various V8 cars.
Equal length is impossible to do with the space avalible, and the power difference is close to zero on NA engines.
On a SC engine, equal length makes no difference in power, it's only flow that matters.
The headers at the picture will + 45-55HP at a SC engine, so they do the job very well.

I accually know Lars K and i can tell You that the car looks even more awesome in real life! When he showed me the headers after mounting them i just drooled. Not to mention the brakes! And those rims.. and and.. Well, I know he wont stop at nothing to create a real sweet ride!
About the clearance: There is accually no problem. He just lowered my SL a few weeks back and going over speedbumps is not a problem. But if there is a speedbump that is too high we can raise the car 50 mm with a button since these cars have ABC.

When you say you have rebuilt the height sensors to lower the car, please explain in detail so I can tell my service rep exactly what to do. Does it have to do with tricking the computer?
Thanks!

most likely he is tricking the height sensors... MB will not do this for you and will not repair any suspension problems (related to ABC) if you have done this modification.
