AMS headers?

Hi guys,
I've done some searching here and at another benz forum but found only one or two actual members that had a wright up. Has anyone had any experience with AMS headers? I'm looking to get a set for CLK500. not looking for a miracle in HPs, a little here, a little there, doing exhaust little by little.
Got an eisenmann, now thinking shorties, then secondaries and eventually maybe resonator swap to AMG. (should have gotten AMG muffler in the first place )
Eventually thinking of finishing with ECU and TCU (benz trany is freaking slow)

Any thoughts?

AMS headers

Ask your question in the w-208 & W-209 threads. Hardly anybody looks here

I know there are a few SLK55s and W210 E55s that have them and the owners seem pretty happy with them.. There are also dynos. If I didn't already have some I would have considered the AMS ones....

Well i had a W210 E55 check under my older post using my user name. I was very satisfied with the quality of the headers at first i was alittle optimistic of omey but i talked to him he gave me good feed back and i only had them on my car for about a week or so before i totalled my car but i can honestly say with the crank pulley and the headers the car felt amazing even before the ECU adapted to the newer parts and air/fuel mixture. I would say the car had alot more low end & top end tq and neck snapping but i felt it. As far as the quality was Pretty Darn good best of luck i give them a Thumbs Up
