I'm trying to find out if anyone in the northeast would be interested or knows someone who would be interested in donating their R172 SLK55 for 3-4 weeks for development of long tube headers and exhaust. For your time you'll get to keep the headers and exhaust that are developed free of charge. PM me if interested.

Nobody wants free headers?

A car has been found. Header development will begin shortly. I'll post results from dynos and dragstrip once I get my set installed.

Great news, I'm interested in seeing the results. Though it does not appear I will still own the SLK55 for much longer.

Oh, why is that? Mines been having problems. Its been in the shop a few times for the same thing and its going in again Mon for the same thing. They've never been able to fix it. I may have to lemon it.

I like the SLK but it doesn't get me truly excited. I'm looking for a C63 Black Series with the aero package in silver or gray at the moment.

Have you considered the new gt3? I'm looking at one of those if I don't want to get another slk if this one gets lemoned. Would put a damper on my header plans after all this waiting though.
