Thought i would post this so that other stage 1 members can compare and also for people that are thinking of modding.

The car now feels much stronger and is a absolute joy to drive.

Next mod for me his headers, i'm going to decide between VRP/Evosport and maybe Supersprint as Kleeman don't make headers that fit right hand drive cars.

Figures are at the crank BTW.

527 hp at the crank would put your car at 433 whp with 18% drivetrain loss. On a dynojet, I would guess your car will likely put down between 440 to 450 whp. Looking good so far

Do not go with Evosport's headers, as they're an "old" design. I'd recommend trying Vadim's HEM and mid section. Lately, they've been shown to produce very impressive results

Thanks, The car definitely feels very strong, cant wait to see what it does on the track with the added power.

I will look into Vadim's HEM's for sure, what do you think of Supersprint? Are they "old " design too? they are reasonably priced now..

There hasn't been too much data or feedback about supersprint headers/exhaust system mainly due to their extreme pricing. I can only recall one member on here that tried them and stated that he liked them a lot. In general, they are a very solid company with good reputation, so if you can get a good deal from them, they would be a very good choice

Here is the thread for Vadim's HEMs if you want to compare the headers....

Lopes80,

I think Kleemann had just made some RHD Headers for the 55.

Thanks MB, I think I may go with Vadim's, Supersprint are just over double in cost for probably not much more hp..

Hi Max,

You mean Kleemann uk? What headers you using?

SILVERSS

Lopes,

Kleemann UK can supply RHD headers, that clears the steering rod on the driver side.

I am running Kleemann headers and K4 package.
