They probably will not fit C350.

SLK is a bit different.

If they do, expect 15-20HP at the wheels. Stock manifolds are really bad.

How much of a difference is there between the Kleemann and Supersprint headers?

Here are Supersprint headers - $2699



Here are evosport - $1499



The picture shows prototype. Production units are coated with HiTemp Coating.


I have not been able to find any Kleemann pictures, their latest catalog does not list them.

Ok, so what's the difference between evosport and supersprint headers? The ports on the evosport don't look as smooth as those in the supersprint's (i can't tell for sure though since the supersprint isn't a close-up.

Headers are very similar. There is very little space do anything else in terms of layout.

Evosport picture is a prototype, so it is rough around the edges.

Let me know when you have the final version of the EvoSport headers. I'm in LA and very interested in picking them up. I'm expecting similar gains to the SuperSprints? Will there be a noticeable exhaust noise difference in terms of tone or volume (a positive)?
