w210 ???/
Vadim , I went to the page you link in your post, but it only shows the headers for the W211 and W209 nothing for the W210 E55 AMG....Are the ones for the SC engines the same as the ones for the NA engines? Does one have the change the downtubes? Cheers , Max

The website shows E55 W211 headers, you can place an order for those, just specify that which car you have in notes.
Over the weekend, we will have new options available.
Thanks,

Can someone please explain to me why these are so expensive? You can get headers or manifolds built for any domestic car for $200-$300. I think this is just madly over priced and ripping off Mercedes Benz owners! Looks like 800%-1000% profit because they fit a Mercedes! Explain to me why Doug Thorley can make headers for a 300C for 1/3 the price your asking for your manifolds? $663.00 Retail! You want to be a good vender to the people on this site..quit trying to rip us off!

I tend to disagree
These manifolds will fit all 430's and all 55's (N/A)...R&D? No more R&D is needed for these manifolds than a simple dyno to see if they increase power. The potential to sell a couple thousand of these is there if the price wasn't so outragous. Maybe this type of thinking.... is why Mercedes Benz owners get raked over the coals. To be honest...I don't think they're going to sell many of these for cars that are now in <$20k range. As far as Kleeman goes...if you really think $16K is right on target for their supercharger...be my guest. I think $8K MAX is what's it's worth...including a ECM upgrade. I promise you, you're looking at $100-$300 worth of metal and welding....with a 100% markup..these should be going for $300-$500 max!

That being said, we should all be somewhat grateful that an established company had decided to construct performance parts for a w210 platform that Mercedes stopped manufacturing in 2002. While expensive, $1,500 is not $3,200 (i.e. Kleeman). Thus, if you don't like the price, i have two words of advice: Don't buy

First, I strongly disagree with your claim that VRP or any vendor could sell 1000's of sets of headers. I highly doubt they could give that many away. You have to realize that you and the other board members represent a negligible percentage of the buying public. The vast majority of Mercedes owners buy for the three pointed star, the luxury and the brand image, less buy for performance and even less who buy modify.

Point is, The Kook's long tubes alone cost $1800 alone install was another $700-800 Even shorty's were priced bet-$900-1150 sheet aint cheap even on a $50k Chevy.
Your quote "with a 100% markup..these should be going for $300-$500 max" would apply to AHHhhhhh KRAGENS part counter pure krap!

No offense to Vadim, just trying to think of a constructive way to bring the price down a bit. I myself will buy at $1K.
Cheers. Max
