Long tube header install
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

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...

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!
