Can't wait to see what your new found power can do! I'm hoping to hear that same loud sound soon also, most likely I'll find the same thing

Looks massive and the sound is probably even bigger!! 
Wish I could go with long tubes, but the SL only allows mid size tubes..Sucks!!

Not to burst your HP projection but (I don't know what it is really) but I was dissapointed w/final Dyno gains after I went ALL out on my C6 Vette (6.0 liter) Kook's 1 3/4 Longtubes/Kook's X-pipe/Kook's 200 cell cats/BillyBoat Bullet cat-back. Post dyno gains w/ECU/TCU were @ 30 RWHP 24 RWTO... Seperated from ECU/TCU gains, Longtube ENTIRE exhaust set-up alone netted 17 rwhp 15 rwto. There just isn't much to be gained on N/A platforms, tuner claims are just that "Only Claims" Proof was in Dynos, they all said you'll gain 30rwhp EZ blablah...
I eventually added every concievable bolt-on before selling, only had 14k miles on her & power was strong for stock 05' C6 made 348 RWHP 360 RWTO bone stock, after above exhaust work/Under Drive Pulleys/FAST-intake/DTE 3.90 gears/Vararam CAI/ multiple ECU/TCU's final POST dyno was 410 RWHP 400 RWTO = 62 RWHP & 40 RWTO gained from all the bolt-ons (if you tally Jim's CLK63 BS, the Dymag wheels are freeing-up about 30+ RWHP of the claimed 100 odd rwhp gained after bolt-ons & tuning, (minus NOS obviously) My past 6.0 liter C6 Vette was comparable as far as what RWHP will be gained after these similar mods to an MB 6.2xx liter engine.
I know it wasn't a MB 6.2XX liter but still very comparable, Longtubes is indeed 1 of the BEST mods on N/A vehicle, sound was retarded loud set-off car alarms on any street literally saw kids downtown holding hands over their ears
when I hit the throttle(droan was pretty bad, in my case Bullet cat-back is hybrid straight pipes w/small resonator) Mufflers will be a must unless you plan on wearing ear plugs on frwy @ 2000 rpm's... The single dollar per dollar MOST worthwhile mod to N/A set-up is SHORTER gearing, I had DTE 3.90's put in place of stock 3.15's talk about Torque Multiplication!! Wicked off-line dig perf!

Here is the facts of My Long Tube Header Install...... Long Tubes are a must on Any Street Rod, I love the looks of Long Tubes and the Sound is a Must Now the fact that this is the FIRST CLS63 EVER to do this Mod is a plus. We have all before and after dyno numbers. These things are a work of ART.. I feel if there are any HP Gains then great but the reason I am doing these is for Looks.. oh, and sound too......

The key thing to remember is just how bad the stock headers are:

How much did they cost? give us those kinda specs
I better call JUICEE to let him know

RENNTech, Evosport.... has seen major gains on the 6.3's with long tube headers
Look @ Jcart's car... I bet he get 60hp+ (no, not to the wheels).

Sorry aint gonna happen unless the Easter Bunny/Santa C/Tooth F, made them The Stock C6 Vette Manifolds were just as pathetic, MB tuners don't even claim 60 bhp, I've seen them claim as far as 35+ bhp N/A which is still NOT happening (unless you put them on the Neutered C63 & didn't admit to a proper ECU/TCU LoL)
