The founder of MKB is the same guy who is the "M" in AMG. He branched off and started his own company. I read that their philosophy is to tune the AMG cars better. I believe their is one person who uses MKB stuff. I am not sure which forum he is on. If I find out, I'll let you know.

Regards,

I know that MKB has a good, soild reputation. But, man 10K for 40hp? I know their components are high quality though.

Better of looking into other altenatives

if youve got the money, the product is great, if money is at all important to you, there are much better alternatives.....EvoSport is the answer for high quality headers etc., for a much better price.
