2000 CLK 320
Just got these in the mail today. I took many pictures for everyone to inspect and review.
At first glance I was attracted to the color. Once I took them out of the box I almost forgot that these were custom made because they have a very professional / high quality appeal. The welds seems good, won't know how they will hold up until they've been put to the test over time and I won't be able to comment on the performance until they get installed.

This will complete my Exhaust Mods from front to back i.e. AirIntake, Headers, Muffler system which I'm expecting each should compliment each other well. Thanks to VipClk320, Ghost, and SuperSprint respectively.

More to come, won't be able to get them installed for another 3 weeks because I'm waiting on other parts to arrive.

1998 CLK 320
Wanted to say that I installed a set of Kleemann V6 headers on my 1998 W208 about 4 months ago, after having a crack in the original exhaust manifold. Love the result and you will not regret. Got the headers at a great price through Kleemann. My mechanic/Kleemann authorized dealer informed me that I have the only W208 in North america with Kleemann headers. Make sure that you change all four O2 sensors so that you don't encounter any problems. Good luck.

There was going to be a group buy of Kleemann about 6 months ago here on this forum. Kleemann said they don't make the v6 header so they will modify / cut the v8 header to make a v6. No one seemed to be satisfied with that and not to mention there was articles out there saying the Kleemann welds don't last very long and since they are made out of Stainless they can't be repaired.
I believe Kleemann wanted around $1200 so all of these kind of turned me off, don't think anyone went with the group buy.

Don't forget, some people aren't keen on removing their primary cats and welding on the downpipes.

It kinda depends on what other mod a person may have.
