Reminds me of the old AMS headers. Kev tried them and said there was no real hp gains (2hp).

They also have them for CLK500s.

wow..ok not sure why i missed his thread. Anyways, thanks for info Carlos. If i remember correctly then you have the Kleenman header installed ? How do you like them ?

Yep, those are similar to the AMS ones I tried - performance wise, total waste of money.

I have Kleemann headers now, I put them on when I did the whole Kleemann package, love them. Here is a link to the thread with the dyno numbers;

And the exhaust thread with lots of pics of the AMS headers;

I haven't updated it with pics of my Kleemann headers yet.

No problem Andy. I currently don't have the Kleemann headers and I don't think I can get ANY type of headers since we have strict Smog tests/inspections in California. I am planning on replacing my primary cats with 300 cell metallic Random Technology Cats (extremely high flow and will still pass emissions) and remove my 2nd cats with a high flow resonator (currently have high flow 300 cell metallic thunderbolt cats). Using high quality stainless steel exhaust piping, I think it can pass visual inspection (will have a OEM look).

I think the primary benefit with headers is the removal of the primaries, so if I can get 70% of the gains without having to get headers; I would be happy!:zoom:
