Unless your going for a different sound I wouldn't reccommend it.

Tha AMG exhaust is pretty wide open and I have had my car modded and will not have the exhaust done.


PM or email me and we can talk if you like.

If you are looking for a different sound had a shop remove the resonator.

Brandon from Kleemann told me that the manifold is pretty restrictive so a new headers should make a good difference, especially on a modified car. You might want to look into it. The only issue is that they need car to use for fitment in Colorado. A little far for me. 430 told me that someone is making headers for the Crossfire SRT which may fit an SLK32.

The stock exhaust manifold & downpipe are restrictive. If you look at it the stock exhaust manifold decreases in diameter where it meats the down pipe.

Still no joy on headers. My goal is to replace the stock manifold, downpipes, delete the cats closest to the block and replace the main cats with a pair of high flow cats. My guess is 30-40rwhp (assuming a well designed header). Hopefully note of the exhuast will be improved without being to loud in the passenger compartment.

If anyone near LA can give up their car for ~2 weeks we can get a great set of headers made. Or find out that with the layout in the engine compartment the ROI for headers is just not there.
