Thanks for the info....the #'s sound great!
Just a few more questions; were these numbers achieved on a stock car or a stage 1 w/ pulley and software, or????
Do you have the dyno sheet available to post?
Thanks in advance.
I can't wait for them to arrive.

More info to follow shortly..

Well, looks like I have a few goodies to install on the beast!
The Headers look amazing!!!
Thanks Again Victor & Vadim
I will try and make a last minute appoinment for tomorrow or Saturday for Dyno and install
If I can't make it happen, it will have to wait for the end of next week as I'm flying out of town on Suday for the upcoming week.
Keep your fingers crossed for me

These are fine. there is no way that anyone could confuse them with the OEM setup. That is the point, get most of the gains and less of the hassle.
The Cats not only must be there, they must remain in the same location that they are in. That is where the shorty header compromise comes into play. It bolts right up. I can't wait to get mine.

HEADERS ARE BEING INSTALLED AS I TYPE!!!!!!
DYNO TOMORROW MORNING @ 10 AM...STAY TUNED!
p.s Unfortunately, i couldn't get on the dyno this morning. I will be taking it to the same dyno where I got my baseline done with just a kleemann ECU (# in sig). So we will have to compare my baseline #'s to tomorrow's #'s which I believe my car will be stage two....right?

IT'S ALIVE........IT'S ALIVE
Headers and filter have been installed along with the phenolic spacers.
I have only been able to drive the car in my parking garage and can tell you this....
I can now hear the supercharger whine like never before (which to me, is a good thing) The engine is breathing and ready to go.
I will post another reply after some spirited runs on the freeway home from work.....
DYNO TOMORROW AT 10AM.
STAY TUNED

deaguero:
thank for the info!
Well, All I can say is that I feel & hear a nice difference in the car.
I'm really impressed with the amplified sound of the blower + exhaust
Another nice little tidbit of info is that upon beating the hell out my car for 20 miles, I popped the hood and was able to touch the surge tanks atop of the motor (or whatever those things are called that say, "AMG" on them) due to the phenolic spacers. Previously, I remember after spirited driving, I by accident touched those things and basically burnt myself
Can't sleep, dyno in 9 hrs & 4 minutes

Well I'm back from the dyno.
I have attached my dyno sheet in hopes that someone can interpret what might be going on.
Am I satisfied with the numbers:::::Sure
Can I feel results from all of my mods::::::Sure
Would I like better numbers::::YES! I wanted to be in the high 470's
I spoke with Vadim and inquired whether or not my ECU needed time to adapt to the new headers. I have only driven the car a total of 40 miles since installing them.
What do you think of the graphs Vadim / anyone?
Also, I may need to recruit Bitourboamg to chime in on what numbers he got from my car (he was the previous owner) with a similar Kleemann setup. If I recall, he was in the 455-460 range as well (which seems pretty weak)

On the 11/20/2006 dyno, the tune was existing upon buying the car.
Pulley was installed a month or so ago and the headers were installed yesterday.
The weather was another reason I was hoping for some nice numbers!

That is correct!
My car feels way faster than pre mods. I can assume that dyno's don't lie but I'll have to take the beast to the track and see what kind of improvements I see over my 12.92 run
FWIW,
I took my car to the same dyno as I did 1 year ago for baseline

You have Johnson running on her correct? Just checking as the ASP officially will make your car a heat monster.
I agree with Vadim about letting the car adapt to the changes.
