S550 headers?

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if they know of any company that makes headers for s550? Other than renntech and kleemann? Renntech seems to be insanely pricey but kleemann needs extra mods to install.

thats just complete generic stuff that has nothing to do with benz.

From what i've been able to find, Kleemann doesn't make them anymore because of almost non existing demand, and renntech is crazy expencive and they probably also don't make them anymore.
The only way to get headers for N/A S550 is to have a shop custom make them. and that will run over $2K as well. not worth the 15hp.
unless you manage to do forced induction, there isn't much that you'll be able to do with this engine thats cost effective.
