Greetings

I'm a newbie on the forum. Done a fair amount of browsing in a short time. Loads of useful info.

I live in South Africa and have a right-hand drive E55 AMG (2006).

I'm keen on importing and fitting the Kleeman headers and downpipes but would not go this route if this exercise is going to require significant installation mods to accommodate the headers (which are designed for left-hand drive vehicles).

Any feedback from guys who've fitted these headers to a r/h/d E55 would be appreciated. I'm wanting to know what mods, if any, are required. I'm guessing there are a number of UK based members who can contribute here. The more detail the better.

 

Another South African, Hoezit boetie Cape Townian, born and raised. Don't go Kleeman, opt for true longtubes and get the best bang for the buck. I can get you a great deal on longtubes or any other mod available for these cars, and will ship international for you, no problem. I first round of mods, I would go with the Meziere I/C pump, tune and Longtubes. That right there should gain about 60rwhp and similar TQ. You will have safe reliable power with no S/C shut down. Are you inland or at the coast?

Welcome to the family boet....

 

Hey boet, thanks for the welcome. Sent you a pm. Is that you're beast in the attached clip? Like wow!!!! Can u help getting mine to do the same

We should start a S.A section

Craig - dude where you been hiding can you pm me a price for the Meziere I/C pump with the shipping? i'll send you some biltong

Shardul - did you 55 survive the flood i sure hope so mate.

and rightly so Ant welcome to the family!!

 

yes it did

 

nice to have another S.A 55 here i was starting to feel a little lonly

 

dam im happy to hear that man!!!

cant kill a beast like yours so easily

 

dude if you going to listen two any two guys an the forum Craig and Shardul are the ones a true welth of information from these gents

i thought i knew my car but with the information i have recived from craig and the post i have read from Shardul you cant go wrong!!

 

Thanks bro. I've had the pulley upgrade, decat and ECU tune done. Losing power on consecutive runs though and need to do cooling upgrade of sorts. Also need headers

 

do any of you live in Pretoria?

 

 

Replied to your PM, dont know if you got it.

 

My warehouse is in Centurion, Pretoria. And Kleemann South Africa is not too far from it.

 

Sounds wonderful.

 

And where exactly would that be?

So how do we start an S.A section?

 

Hello Jay, Kleemann South Africa, is based in Montana Park, Pretoria.

 

I was just reading this thread and thought I'd post it here, the guy fitted those headers on a rhd no problem: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...k-changed.html

 

That was my post....I only know PLM works for RHD 55, other than that I do not know too

 

Thx bud

 

Talk to this guy

 

lol you know where that guy gets his parts from

 

Go for the Kleemann k2. Kleemann 168 pulley and Kleemann mid length headers. Member Motorkas has gone 11.26 @ 123.7 with this setup... while some guys with 180s and longtubes do around the same!

 

Very few long tube headers will fit RHD - actually very few company tested these.

SuperSprint's long tube headers won't fit the RHD models but their shorties will and were test fitted. They are available in the low 3,000$ range + S/H.

 

Thanks for all the useful feedback. I gather there are options aplenty. Ive sent some PMs and have some numbers to call. I'm sure I'll get sorted soon.
