SOLD: RENNtech Shorty Headers for M156 AMG, bolt-on 16HP/16TQ

*** SOLD *** SOLD *** SOLD *** SOLD *** SOLD ***
RENNtech Shorty Headers
For M156 C63, E63 & other M156 AMG...
http://www.renntechmercedes.com/www/node/193
$999 Shipped OBO

These are a simple bolt on and add 16HP & 16TQ
That extra torque is most noticeable in the midrange.
It also improves the engine sound a bit.

See my before and after Dyno.
(Yes, ACG's Dyno reads real low )

Removed from my 10 E63.
Were on car for about 12K miles.
Car was sold, so they are not needed any more.

No, I did not remove them to get Long Tubes
To me, these were perfect, as they gave noticeable gains and are practically invisible to the dealers.
Anyone would think these are a factory part.

Recommended to buy new Exhaust Manifold Gaskets & Nuts for installation (studs can stay).
(2) 1571420180 - Exhaust Manifold Gasket
(16) 0029901554 - Nut, Exhaust Manifold
(x) 0019906814 - Stud, Exhaust Manifold (optional)

I see what you mean;
The pics on RENNtech show a one piece flange.
Mine have 4 individual flanges (1 per port).
I can't say which is their current design.

Nevertheless, it looks like they use the same part number for all M156 applications.

The Dyno Chart and RENNtech product sheet are PDF attachments, at the bottom of my original post.
Let me know if you can see them or not.

For additional reference, the W219 product sheet, is attached at the bottom of this post.

I think it was under 4 hours to complete.
ACG did the labor and the charge was very reasonable.
