What are the power gains if any ???

Thanks in advance

Shorty headers like Kleeman provide good gains over low end torque. Long tubes will gain alot more overall power, especially mid and top end power.

From what I have seen a lot of people have switched from shorties to long tubes because they felt they left power on the table, and their assumptions most of the time were fulfilled when they switched. The best LT's are FF, MBH, and EC for the w211 amg.

did you remove your primary cats when u installed Kleemann headers ???

is u removed them, then it is not worthy. if you still have the primary cats on your car then go for it.
