MBH G55 Long Tube Headers

I'm happy to announce we have finished our G55 Long tube headers. The system is a 100% bolt on system and does delete the primary cats. Features of the these are: 321 Stainless steel header flanges, 304 Stainless primaries, 304 stainless 4 into 1 merge collector, 304 stainless down pipes that bolt right up to the factory exhaust system. There is no cutting or welding needed. System comes with gaskets and a set of Vband clamps. I'm waiting to get a set of these headers installed into my photo studio for high res pics. Expected gains are 40-50+ wheel horsepower over stock.

Simply put, Compared to what is out there for the G55... These are the best headers available for the G55 AMG.

.......your headers delete the primary cats. So what happens with the resultant check engine light?

what year does this fit? Price?

Any changes to the sound of the exhaust? If so do you have video clips?

Thanks

Compared to what is out there- looking xtremely promising!!!

Can't wait to find out more about these headers!!!

WANTS >>>> NEEDS>>>>> BEGS to hear the sound with cat delete!!!

The promise of this mod for a G55 woke me up!!!So far we only had a US$3k+++ for a shorty option A, or US$5k+++ for shorty option B, and both were silly in terms of pricing... these headers might have legs afterall!!!

thanks for trying out mods on the AMG G platform!

...must be silly season! I don't think u get it. Even if you have a tune, you would still get a CEL, unless the tune includes specific program to delete primary CATs. You won't have a tune that deletes your primary CATs unless you already have headers that cause u to physically remove your primary CATs. Most buyers will fall into the former category. So tuners sell either headers that dont require primary CAT removal, or they sell headers requiring primary CAT removal together with the tune. The cost if the tune, and the arrangement required to get your ECU tuned for primary CAT removal all factor into one's decision to purchase or not purchase the headers. I hope this clears it up for you.
