They look good to me. I'm sure they will make power. What is there to be afraid of? They offer a money back guarantee if not 100% satisfied.

Looks someone bought Supersprint headers for LH E55 and tried to fit them to RH E55.

So they are supersprint? That does not sound like $750 to me, more like $7500

What's scary about bolting a set of headers on? The only thing might be that they won't fit, not necessarily scary unless you are a wuss? Even if they didn't fit they're only ~100 bucks plus shipping...

I was refering to the engine ...wrong calculation may cause engine failure ...am I right ?

why don't you try it first and we all wait for you ...


and the price is not only $100 I believe ....the auction is still running

Chances of an engine failure are not very likely. First of all, if they don't fit it will be readily apparent during install and fitment.

oh dear.

mht-v10- warranty will go up in smoke with headers (as I'm sure you know) but you could fit them and see if the performance gains are worth the modest outlay and reliability risk. Good luck

Any competent exhaust shop can build you a set of headers.

Hey what ever happened to all the bootleg Super Sprint headers built in China?
Most were for BMWs but I recall they busted like 6 containers full o pipes.

FWIW I checked on shipping and here is the response.
SO here are the $1000.00 headers.
Half the money jangy wanted to spend, but lets not start that up again.


Yacht Master

Thank you for your inquiry regarding Mercedes W211 Exhaust Headers. Sorry there is no buy it now available on this item. This is the last set we have. We hope to have more in April 09. Postage to Miami Florida USA is only AU$180. Would you like us to contact you regarding future stock if you do not win this auction? What is your email address?



Regards,
Johnny
