short headers
Hi all, i have been assured buy the seller these short headers WILL fit my right hand drive C43 ( or a right hand drive CLK55 W208 ) , but would love it if someone can confirm this...

the seller says they have sold many over seas and no complaints.
are these headers worth trying? What sort of improvements will they give on a 5.4ltr?
thanks!

I have no personal experience with those, but they seem to follow the contours of the factory manifolds, so I bet they will fit just fine. My guess is you might pickup 5-10 HP.

They are OBX and work good. The only drawback is fitment around the drivers head sometimes requires dimpling for clearance.
The other issue I found it the outlet diameter of flange is only 1.75". I had mine machined to 2.25" for max performance.
Do yourself a favor and wrap them too. the insulation will enhance flow and prevent personal burns.
