Thanks guys for the interest!!

We have 2 people lined up to do install & dynos.. Vadim is coordinating with both owners..

Unfortunately, I dont know anyone in NYC but if you guys want a set, I can ship a couple to the shop of your choice. I cant do the $1250 installed price because that is basically my cost...

The headers are going to be introduced at $1500 + shipping.

Thanks Victor,

I'm looking forward to it. I'm also going to have some Phenolic Spacers installed while I'm at it.

Should I look into heat wrapping the headers after Vadim gets them coated?

Thanks to you Evan!!

I will ship the phenolic spacers to Vadim for you.

I do not recommend header wrap.. The heat coating will more than do the job.. no need to wrap them.

I am not sure to be honest... I'll see if Vadim can give you any insight.

No worries.. We have 3 sets being installed now and dyno'd... If you want a set and are too far away from Newport Beach, I can arrange to send them to EuroElites (Adam) and he will take care of you in terms of installation.

As far as I know they will fit all the 55 cars but I havent test fit them on the SLK55 yet.. Also, being a N/A car, I am not sure what the 1.75" primary tubes will do to the torque curve.

Let me do some research on fitment.. If they fit, maybe you could do some dyno testing?

Thank you for the reply, as you see I am not in the U.S and that might be hard to acquire these headers not knowing 100% that its guaranteed to fit and not harm the torque curve. If you dont mind seeing or researching if it works, I highly appreciate it as I would like to have a smooth torque curve where the car pulls and rather falling in a certain rpm range.

Thank you in advance,

Mohammed.

Headers are at the coating shop.. First set will be ready for pickup on Tues/Wedn.. We are trying to coordinate install & dyno for end of next week.


---------------------------------------------

Hi Mohammed,

I will speak with Vadim about this and see if we can get something tested locally.. I'll get back to you.

Here are a couple of photos of the shorties being installed on a car...

These were coated with our high temp coating. Sorry for the small pictures... We didnt have our own camera on hand and this was the only thing available at the time.

Before dyno was done just before install commenced.. After Dyno is coming on Tues.

I'm up to 3 guys (one is me) now for the headers. Please email me ETA's on supplies in VRP USA. I can get install done in SD, if Vadim has some units.

Sorry Arjang.. We've got 2 pieces in stock in California but they are both sold pending install.. If you tell me how many you need, I'll get them made in a short order of time... If you group them together it is easier for everyone. Wont take long.. Its our coating shop that needs 3 days...

Also, we can arrange install at the Newport Beach location if you are stuck for shop time.

Let me know bud..

Perfect. Sign me up for the next 5, then and let me know timing, so we can stagger the items that we are getting. I assume the Pulley is first?
Those black headers look HOT! I can't wait to get all my crap on.

I will put the order in on Monday and get the build started on the 5 units. Should take a couple of days to get them made.

I'll email you regarding getting some funds.

Thanks bud!

Here is a pic of the completed long tube setup + high flow cats + complete mid-section exhaust..

1 of these is going on my car along with the new motor.. another set is going on a customer car that we are doing up here.. its quite the build up and I will post lots of progress pics as we go through it...

Here are the uncoated beauties... more pics to follow once they get our coating put on.

Vic,
I can't wait for my shorties!

Has the initial installer got a chance to dyno with your shorty headers on?

Roseylv: I picked up 28rwhp from these shorty headers. This can be confirmed by Chris at Floored Fab. where he did a pre install dyno and a post install dyno. In the cool weather I really, really notice the added top end from these. Best of luck and enjoy!
