Aftermarket tube headers for W210 V8?
I was wondering if Evosport people or other manufacture makes an aftermarket headers for the 98 W210 V8s? Or anyone that in LA can custom make mandrel bend headers?
Need info quick. I have a smashed header that needs replacing immediately.

Yes, the headers will fit all V8's 4.3L, 5.0L and 5.5L. There will be some difference due to model variation. As far as HP and cost, I do not have either number at this moment. I will post them as soon as they become available.

From my experience headers will show 20 RWHP improvement on E55. I had a set custom made as well as Unichip, pre cats and mid muffler removed, K&N filters and airbox modified, total 40 rear wheel horse power increase on Dyno Dynamics dynamometer.
0-100kmh from 5.6 to 5 sec according to G Tech Pro. Total cost of mods less than $5000 Australian ($2750 US)

If the mid muffler is removed, does the car get very loud?

Under acceleration car has a nice throaty growl now!
As for price:
Headers $2000
Exhaust Mods $400
Unichip -ecu mapping on dyno for premium unleaded and inlet/exhaust mods $1500
Airbox Mods: $800 - as well as K&N filters purchased new air box and went to work with plastic filler and dremel tool, removing square edges in air flow. Also did heat shielding as per my orginal post.
Mercedes V8 factory headers and where they join exhaust and navigate the steering rack, is the worst design I have seen. I am shocked that AMG doesn't replace it themselves.

Matter of opinion. On light throttle no, inside car no, apparently quite loud from outside. The mid muffler is straight through anyway, so there is no performance increase from removing it, but I love the note, but then I used to run my Porsche Turbo with the Turbo Cup exhaust on the street, (a straight through pipe with no mufflers or resonators)
