Well, I have it all minus a tune...AMS said it doesn't do much for gains with all exhaust and pulley added. I am completely happy with the sound and performance. It is a must for these cars.

People will be like when they hear you come up behind them, and when you leave them in the dust

You ever get those Cadillac Escalade and honda civics trying to catch up and hope you get traffic in front and they get their chance to look you side by side in traffic....

I keep getting either the ford F-250 or chevy 2500 diesels trying to race me..it's annoying. Damn rednecks

hey i am in CT and waiting on my x-pipe and hi flow cats to come and i am doing mine my self. I am in the collision field so welding these up and having em sit right , wouldn't trust anyone but myself.. Let me know where u are located!!!!

There you go! Another enthusiast/owner willing to help you out. Same state and everything. Go for it.

On a similar note: I was thinking of doing this job myself also. Just need to get some stainless wire for my mig welder and the following items: AMS headers. High flow secondary cats. X-Pipe. 45 mandrel bends.



Has anyone exchanged the primary cats with high flow metallic? Have them welded in and keep the O2 sensors? If you are using the AMS headers, it seems that the stock exhaust pipe becomes a bottle neck at the header flange down through the primary cats. I thought that there was a picture of the primary cat cut open. There was a huge restriction inside. I think that changing the primary cat with a high flow "true" 2.25 or 2.5 (which ever the exhaust pipe actually is) would help tremendously.

IF ANYONE WHO has headers wants to sell me your old manifolds, I would be interested.

I believe mine are metallic cudaized...The guy I had do mine ended up cutting out the primary cats from the side and and putting the new ones in the housing. Kinda weird, but it works and sounds great.

So i still have yet to find anyone with an e320 w210 who has the headers and pulley on here. Unless im not looking hard enough :x

I'm in central connecticut....southington. I got a phone number from a guy from a friend at a swap meet and he specialize in welding and does exhaust mod as a hobby on the side and he told me to bring whatever I had to him and he'll do it for me. 20 years as a welder Anyone in the northeast who would like to do exhaust mod can pm me.

Wow...the new cats must be small enough to be able to get wrap in the originals. I had seen the oem and they are not that big.

I would sell my OEM exhaust manifolds for $400. They came off my Florida only '99 with 30k miles...so they look great.

Already got a set mfletch69, but thanks. Using them to research long tube headers for our cars.
