Hey guys,

Just got the Kleemann header installed over the weekend while i'm in town. Got these stock header and primary cats I need to sale. Anyone interested PM me.

$100 including shipping.

Removed from 2002 E55 with less than 70K miles.

Esh

Peter,

Not sure if they're the same or different than the 430 but might want to advertise there as well.

Cool, thank you!

Peter_02AMG

thanks

How do you like your new headers??

Peter_02AMG

It sound good not as loud as I expected would be without the Cats and engine RPM rev faster. also noticed SC is is louder during acceleration

but i notice a virbration in the driver floor panel when turning right only as I accelerate.
No CEL yet and I have driving over 120 mile on it since. When do you think the CEL will come on?

You need to do a full exhaust to get that real V8 sound

When Kleemann DK installed my headers, they had to do it again because the left header was touching the stearing, so they had to take the header down and mod something with the stearing so that the header didn't made contact with the header

The CEL will come on when you do a full exhaust and place the 02 sensors to close to the last set of cats. With your set-up right noe I think you will be trouble free Or at least I hope so!

Interesting that you hear more of the S/C after the headers How would you describe the S/C sound from the Eaton in your car? Silent or planty of whining? I'm curious how my S/C will sound

I may be interested in cat downpipes, purely for R&D purposes , check PM

Sorry AMS, i sold it already. those darn thing are heavy! minus 10lb off my car

Headers did not make my car much louder (NA not SC) at idle or normal driving but there was a bit more growl at full throttle.

I'd bet your downpipe is hitting the floor under acceleration. Mine did and I had to cut and rotate the downpipe a bit and reweld it. Here is a pic of approximately where mine was hitting (actually it hit about 6" right of the red arrow about where the swaintech ceramic coating ends)




My car went about 6 months and 4000 miles with no CEL's and then they started popping up from time to time. I actually just sent my ECU in to Cory last week to turn them off. I've got about 100 miles on the ECU and so far so good....... Fingers crossed.


Do you feel a difference in power? I was quite surprised that I could actually feel a difference on my NA 430.

Peter_02AMG

If you had the exhaust before the SC than you wouldn't notice the louder whinning sound. It sound like it whinning up faster and much louder now at low end. Cars around to you will definitely know you have a SC in it, it is loud

Peter_02AMG

I recall you had that problem with your down pipe and i did made sure it wasn't touching anything when they had it up on the lift. They said everyting fit together well and it not touching anything under there. I notice the virbraton in the driver floor when i turn to the right on acceleration. Only on right turn.

Cory still own me a ECU but if the CEL doesn't come on than I'm not going to send the ECU to them. I might have them or VRP retune the car though.

any ideas who can tune it for better performance? i need a retune badly.

My downpipe was not touching (probably about 1/2" clearance) but the liquid filled engine mounts let the engine move quite a bit. More then most cars. Where mine was hitting was almost exactly under my feet on the drivers side floorboard. I could see where some of the heat shield was getting crushed and thats how I realized where it was hitting. Your car might be different but I'd check that area just to be sure if I was you.

Peter_02AMG

That Make sense, that where i feel the virbration too. I might have to get under there and check it out. thanks

tris1969

still have the headers?

Peter_02AMG

Sorry, sold it
