Finally decided to install these exhaust headers since no one wanted to purchase them, Thank GOD!!

Long story short........

This is probably the most noticeable performance modification to date...

The sound and not to mention torque difference is amazing!!

Would recommend to anyone to do it. Contact Mike at MBH and have him hook up your AMG, it definitely deserves it and definitely worth the $3K.

Next a tune from Jerry tomorrow and i will have the car on the dyno tomorrow afternoon to see what kind of HP/TQ difference it has made.

If you are on the fence about headers, the sound at idle is deeper but not obnoxiously loud.

And when on the throttle, man oh man, you would think you are on the racetrack

Happy new years fellas... I'm shooting for 10's this yr... Wish me luck

Love the sound, i was happy with the results also. Hell I didnt even think it would have that much torque difference but damn do i love to drive it now.

What were the gains with the header? That's some serious power.

kelwilliams08

Previous dyno run was 500hp/534tq.
Gained 33 hp and 60tq.
The bottom end gains are amazing. Its fun playing around town now.

Damn you kelvin....now I've gotta spend more money to keep up with that beast. Oh well....modding never really ends

Solo Man

Up to Redline?

kelwilliams08

Yes sir

Solo Man

Ill be there. Maybe they'll let me strap mine one for a couple of pulls with the new mods installed.

Text me tomorrow when you are on your way up there

kelwilliams08

You got it brother

CL55_Serge

Wow - is that at the crank or wheels? I need to see what the 65 will do. I think a stock 216 65 hits high 400s HP (slightly less than the 215 cars for some reason) and I'm guessing I'd be in 530-550HP range after the ECU tune...

kelwilliams08

Thats to the ground. Both numbers were on a dynojet. First pass in May of '12. This dyno run was made this am.

kelwilliams08

An estimated flywheel hp based on 15% loss thru drivetrain would be about 613hp/684tq
Sweet

Dude 15% on a auto trans with a converter is conservative. It's more like 18%, so more like 630HP and 700TQ at the flywheel.

Freaking awesome.

CL55_Serge

A stock 65 sees around 500HP and supposed to have 604 at the crank - that's about 16.6% drivetrain loss. This is a hell of a 55!

radride

Everyone always gets hung up on the HP. The torque is what gets you off the line and the HP keeps you there. Take a look at a modded CL65 torque to the wheels... Its mind blowing. Buts all of those Cummins guys to shame. I always laugh and tell my wife to buy a travel trailer and we will use the CL65 to tow it LOL.

Sometimes if you have too much, it takes you nowhere

radride

But it does put on a nice show .

Even in roll racing, an extra 150 ft/lbs at the wheels makes a huge difference.

Gettin addicted to the dyno... Took my buddies SLR Mclaren to get dyno'd today. Check it out.

kelwilliams08
