The result is an increase in power output of approx 7% or up to 35 Hp and 40 Nm of torque.

I know for e55 headers they were asking 3500. I'd like to know how much Hp can kleemann offer with headers and their ECU tuning... my guess 550hp is achivable.

I wouldn't be suprised if you can get a better custom fab job for 1/2 the money.

Possibly, but the problem is finding someone you can trust to properly engineer a "one-off" set of headers. There's more too it than bending and welding a couple of pieces of pipe, of course, and not just any back-alley muffler shop can do it. With Kleemann, you can be sure that they know what they're doing, IMO, and that knowhow is part of what you pay for.

It appears that other than the headers 2 most forward cylinders, which have tubing coming out of them on a radical 90 degree curve the remaininig 6 cylinders just bark out from the flange into a cylindrical chamber and then out the back...compared to a bundle of snakes this is the cheap way out...not sure if that cylindrical chamber is a heat shield covering the snakes???

so maybe it should be called a manifold, not headers
