99CLK320,
Just got my car back from the shop. The new headers are a very nice improvement. Sounds better, runs better especially at higher rpms. Keep in mind, this is a 320. I was not expecting monster gains. Per Williams007 dyno results, even though I am not going to dyno my car, 7-10 hrspwr is probably about right. Also, Jimmy's 320 is a Japan version that has no primary cats. His down tubes that come directly off the back of the headers go straight down and to a set, of what would be on a NA car, secondary cats, then on to his SuperSprint resonator and exhaust. I may not be pulling the same hrspwr as he is cuz I have two sets of cats and a stock exhaust and no Evo pulley kit. Again, with the 320 you can't make it go real fast because the cubic inches are not there however, once I get a pulley kit on and a sport exhaust and a SprintBooster I will be done. The only other way to go beyond that is big time engine mods like cams, port and polish, turbo and big time money which is ridiculous in my book plus I aint got that kinda cheese. No offense Jimmy me boy. Keep on moddin beeotch.
