Id be willing to sell my headers - but they are currently on the car, and it would have to be worth my while to uninstall them.

They are VRP shorties. I went from 12.0@116 to 11.7@120 with these.

PM me if interested

Thanks everyone. I am looking into the options and trying to decide what may be best.

What should I expect for labor hours for an install at a shop?

Depends on the shop and which headers. Some are bolt in, others like the Kleeman require some welding. 5 hours tops though it can be done for much less.

The SLK55 headers are not the same as the e55 W210 or W211 (different from one another).

The headers are brand new directly off our website for only $999 w/ FREE shipping. They require zero welding or modification of stock emissions equipment or downpipe at all and are direct drop in. Install can be done in as quickly as 3 hours depending on which shop you use.

Hope that helps,

5 hours is unrealistic for a Kleeman set of headers. Usually you avg labor rates will be 6-12hours depending on the model since you have to weld the downpipes on (its irreversible, permanent).

Ours you can remove and sell when it comes time to selling your car so its a truly reversible modification.

hope that helps,

Hello,

The headers are T304 Stainless steel with lifetime warranty. The Gains of the AMS headers + high flow 2nd cats is equal to the performance from Kleenmann header + primary delete without any of the negative legal drawbacks.

Hope that helps,,
