Header Install

I bought the Super Sprint headers and am preparing for the install. Before I get into this project, can I install without dropping the engine ?

Yes, it was actually very easy for me because i remove the whole supercharger from the engine and it gave me so much space to work with. I did one installation on a customer car in my garage. For picrures, go to www.benzworld.org and find my screen name "linh" in the r170 forum then check out my pictures galleries. Btw, installed the whole supersprint system (header, down pipe and muffler). Dyno showed no gain.

not stock.
im sure that with more boost, and probably some more aggressive camshafts...these headers should kick in!!

Linh, did you ever write an email or gave a call to supersprint to ask them why was it that yoy 4 digit dollar exhaust investment showed NO gains on the modified SLK230 you guys intalled them on???

I also installed ASP pulley on his car one week before i installed supersprint system.


No, because it wasn't my car. So when are you going to install your?
