Vadim will have to comment on the sound.

I'm picking the car up on June 29th so I'll definitely have more to say then. I know Vadim has received at least 3 orders for the headers so hopefully someone will be able to post a before and after dyno.

Here a video of idle and a little engine revving. VRP (Vadim) headers, custom exhaust back to stock AMG muffler, and custom intake by Vadim as well.
Below 3000 rpm the car is pretty calm, above, the acceleration is best described as violent.

Man sounds good. Which muffler are you running?

Is there any performance advantage to deleting the resonator with the headers? I just ordered a set from Vadim and I am wondering whether I need to plan the delete at the same time. Or is it strictly an "aural aesthetic"? Steve's car sounds great, but if there's no gain in it I'd rather not become more of a cop magnet. My car is currently modded with Code3 pulley and intake breather, LET HE, Johnson pump and LET ECU tune. I'll be swapping the C3 intake mod for a LET CAI and adding plugs and wires essentially at the same time.

Vadim,
You're a mad scientist . I love what you are doing for the MB community. Will those headers and intake work on my 320? I would only need the intake on one side and not dual. Let me know by PM. Thank you.
