.. it's good that somebody is finally making some serious mid-headers

stevebez

Just saw this mod from Lorinser... real pretty headers for the N/A 500 series...

Would they fit a 55K?

Also seems like it will fit a stock exhaust configuration as well...

OH MY GOD!! Homey, i never meant it that way. I know of you and Dyno Comp very well and would never knowingly imply that you would even smell like what we saw of andy.

I was just making fun of the name is all .

The headers from almost all V8s will line right up, just don't know about the exit side. Each setup has a different angle between the headers and the exit pipe.

Definitely a pretty setup but what high $$ item isn't pretty?

stevebez

Have not had the cahones to ask for a price ... swiss are not shy to overcharge.

Yep the angle could be tricky, also clearance , but one of the neatest headers yet seen for the V8's...

I never took it in a bad way.

man those look nice

Thanks alot, We really tried to put our best foot forward with this project.

I would like to add. Their are headers available for all types of cars that look good on the outside. Its only when you get the headers in your hands and look inside can the story be told. I've seen time and time again what looks like a good header on the outside turns out to be a total crap on the inside. As soon as I can I will take pictures down in the tubes and collectors to show you the true craftsmanship of these headers.

Funny I was thinking of having headers made the exact same way. These are refered to as fenderwall headers. You left enough length for a good merge.

Are you going to have these fabbed state side? Got to say the kleemans I got looked to be cheap knock offs.

I am interested in a set of the 321's with the heavest gauge possible.

MBH motorsports

I take it you want the best of the best. Thats what we plan to do. All our products will be made here in the USA out of US stainless steel by our lead fabricator.

cls55

will you please tell us WHEN?

You're literally looking at the only set in existence, MBH's prototype set. They haven't even had 'em on the car yet for testing and/or dyno results... they may even determine the need for design modifications throughout their R&D of these headers - how can he reasonably deliver an ETA on final production pieces? Cut the guy some slack - I'm sure hooleyboy/MBH will reveal the results and timetable for production as soon as he possibly can.

+55, just sit back & relax because things are about to get interesting. Get your ready!

MBH motorsports

now we have 2 in existence. The jigs are made. My cars custom exhaust is finished. Just modding the stock exhaust a bit to fit the headers. for realistic Dyno numbers. Cat pipes are done.

AMG's are around all the time at Dyno-Comp so I'm fitting them to a CLS55 this week SL55 and E55.

The production for the C55 will be available within the next week if all test are good. The 55k will take some very light mods to the down pipes and cat pipes. But really thats nothing we cant do fast. I would say the 55k headers are about 2-3 weeks out from production.

jturkel

how exciting!

these headers look sick! though they look better in person. welds are beyond perfect. the pipe cuts and bends are amazing as well! excellent worksmanship altogether. can't wait to see these rolling on these 55Ks. These guys will be in for a REAL treat!

Nice Job hooley,

Keep up the great work, nice to see another high set of quality headers on the market as well. Dyno results should be quite impressive .

MBH motorsports

Thank you, It good to get another sponsor who makes headers thoughts.

I only want to put my hands on the best products. All TIG welded, I might add is much stronger and cleaner than MIG welds... As you know. Not to mention these headers are just as nice and clean on the inside too. I wanted to get on the Dyno today, but We had a hold up on my custom exhaust so looks like dyno tomorrow.

AMS Performance

Excellent, Nice to see you are using the best materials (stainless) as well as the highest quality production techniques (TIG). Its the only way to build a truly top notch product, anything less would be too inferior for such high end automobiles. Nothing worse than putting on a coated set of mild steel headers on your car and then having them rust within 1 year, that's just unacceptable for Mercedes. You definitely made the right choice

Keep up the good work.

Ghostrider

Yeah, but more importantly there is the design aspect, no to mention the longevity of the product. Great Job!!

Ghostrider

Materials are one thing, but let's not understate the importance of design.

MBH motorsports

Desing is king, there is no doubt about that. We are using mandrel bend tubing rather than just scab in sloppy pipe that's cut at angles out of straight tube. I've seen it many time people use great materials but the headers themselves are just terrible.

We put alot of thought into the design of our headers to make not only a header that fits well, but is made using proven header fabrication techniques.
I hope to have the first dyno runs done today. I had my exhaust system converted to stainless so thats the only hold up. I use to have some cheap aluminum pipe...

We are hoping this header proves to be the best header available for the 55's. With our fabricators many years of working for Billy Boat and building Indy car (IRL) exhaust systems. We feel Dyno-Comp truly has one of the best header fabricators in the game.

Before he came on as our full time fabricator he was even working on custom exhaust systems for vintage WWII fighter planes. Not only does he do outstanding work he's a good friend of mine.. so I cant say enough good things about him.

RenntechE55

They look sick , so are they $5000 for the set with mid pipes?

MBH motorsports

I've been trying to hammer out the lowest price I possibly can. The tentative price for the headers is $3490.

I dont have the best car to test the headers on. My last dyno run just before took my Evosport shorty headers and custom duel exhaust off. I made 438whp. Friday on the dyno I made 452whp with only 5psi of boost at redline! a drop of just under 2psi of boost and and making more power.
