Kleeman's are considered more of a mid header setup and VRP's are short. If you already have your cat delete I would go with a full long tube setup. It's going to cost more but if it's affordable that would be my choice. My second choice, since you already have your primaries gone is to go with Kleeman. They will make more power over the shorties. Most people go with shorties with emissions in mind, especially here in California but with where you live that won't be a problem.

I would stay away from any header that is made of mild steel. Mild steel is like $.08 a pound. With that said, you can pay $1500 for a set of headers that have maybe $50 worth of material in them. 
. Trust me I know what it cost to do a production run on headers.

U bend prices:
Mild steel 3 inch radius = $7.99
304 SS 3 inch radius =49.99
I think its safe to say mild steel headers available for the AMG have less then $50 of material in them.

Do any aftermarket shops make headers made of high quality stainless steel? I'm thinking about buying some headers, but don't wanna buy some cheap headers only to have to replace them in a few years, I want them to LAST.

Our C55 SS headers finish up tomorrow then its on to the next car. If anyone in the AZ area wants headers for the E55 made and dyno tested I will give you a smoking deal PM or PM my alter ego sponsor name MBH Motorsports. We are lucky enough to have one of the best header fabricators in the game. Again PM me I can send you pictures of some custom work.

Jangy I met you at Speedworld the day the Grand National wrecked the poor guys new car. All my tuning is done by Dyno-Comp. MBH Motorsports is the Mercedes R&D devision of Dyno-Comp. If you are ever in the area you can stop in and most likely I will be there.
Really though I had to become a sponsor of MBworld to talk about bringing cool projects, idea's and products to my friends here at MBW. So if you ever see a post by MBH Motorsports, Its my alter ego.

Absolutely, i remember you. I also know of dyno comp. I was just curious if you are under RennTech's tentacles or not. If not, then you may be my new tuner
. I don't mind some affiliation with RennTech, I just don't want to buy their parts or tunes so as long as you have a variety I am good. Key for me is tuning since I wanna go a little nuts....

Vadim's headers are Mild steel
T304 cracks after several hundred heat cycles. Just had a set of 997TT T304 stainless changed out that were a year old.
If you want them to last forever use 321. But then no one will pay $12,000 for an exhaust.
