Will other Benz model headers fit my 550?

For instance, these models have the same M273 motor, right? What would be different? Heads, mounting holes, or engine room? I want the Kleemanns for mine but this would help find a cheaper price. Unless Cory discounts the 550s soon!

E55

The E55 is a 5.5*L (5461*cc) version. Bore is increased to 98*mm and stroke is up to 90.5*mm. Output is 388*hp (285*kW) at 6000*rpm with 391*ft·lbf (530*N·m) of torque at 2800-4800*rpm.
Applications:
2006– E500/E550
2006– CL500/CL550
2006– CLS500/CLS550
2006– GL500/GL550
2008- ML500/ML550
2006– S500/S550
2006–2009 CLK500/CLK550
*Note: 500 or 550 model naming varies depending on geographical market.

Not that this will answer your question, I had a conversation with Cory and I recall he said that the Kleemanns headers had a problem with fitting onto the 550 something to do with the steering wheel shaft and they had to be modified much more for the 550's.

I been researching your question also, and look forward to the comments that may get posted.
