FS- VRP Shorty Headers W211 E55

Hi Guys!

I have for sale VRP shorty headers/HEMS. I've had them on my car for a while and they do not throw codes or anything weird. They are bolt on heads, it took a skilled MBZ tech about 75 minutes to install.

Forgive me I am not into the technical side of these and the gains that they make. I do know that some members here have made great power with them and if you are reading this, please chime in and tell us!

Price is set to $500.

The headers are still on my car and I will have them re-coated for the next buyer at a price of FREE.

Bless you sir.

I was going to sell my Eisenmann and VRP's to get some LT's. I guess another option would be to optimize the hell out of my current set up.

With the VRP's I still have my primary and secondary CAT's in place. If I remove primaries, will feel some extra power in DD?

The other route is to put on some LT's which would be the $$$ way to go. I'm not out to break any records or anything, but do you think it's worth buying LT's or should I just try removing cats on my current set up. Also, what else would you recommend to make what I have now better?

Don't get me wrong, my car is a BEAST especially in cold weather. But you know the feeling when you get used to the power, when it becomes predictable? That's what I'm going through. Still make my friends crap themselves to. lol

Go with the Kleemann headers.. They make great gains at an awesome price.. Plus you can add some race cats to them since your in Cali..

VRPs at $500 sounds remarkably nice. But Kleemanns are $1000 and are known to be amazing.

Is there much different gain wise/tone wise between VRP and Kleeman? Anyone know? Because if not, I may have to make an executive decision on this quick. Also, I hear word of a warranty?

Thevaz, screw kleemans , your vrps are better especially if you put thunderbolt race cats and add a 3" collector, it will not be worth it to goto lts with that setup, trust me

The lts will maybe give you 10-15hp more, that's it

It's all in the collector

Hulk I owe you a beer.

I had my guys do 3" pipe from the VRP's directly to the secondary CAT's. The collector on the VRP is what it is but they stretched the pipe from 2.5 to 3 inches. So no more front CAT's and clean shiny 3" pipe in place.

First off, the sound with the Eisenmann is insane. I immediately noticed more power, especially in the low end. At WOT, the thing screams and pulls like crazy. The throttle is much more responsive and revs way faster than it used to. It's weird, I know I didn't gain 30HP from it but I certainly feel like I did. This is the way to do it if you don't want to spend $x,xxx on some shiny LT's.

Thanks again! Mod's sorry for the inconvenience, lock it up!
