On our header flange we use special order 3/8ths or .375 thickness 321 plate steel. It's not 1/2 inch like the DC site says.

The point is the vendor bypassed this post when it should have been answered
Great headers but customer service,

No response from MBH. Does anyone else know whether their headers can be installed on a right hand drive E55 without having to undertake any installation mods?

It would basically be a miracle if they could be used on RHD without extensive modifications. The steering shaft travels in an elliptical path while turning and requires a fair amount of clearance.

For any fence-sitters out there, take advantage of this opportunity. Whether you're looking for your first set of headers, upgrading from shorties, or even upgrading from some of the other ill-fitting or lower quality LTs, this is your chance to get the best headers offered for the 55K platform. And add the mid-pipe kit to make it a direct bolt-on. MBH was great to work with. Here's what we're talking about:

Yeah its crazy. Even with the prices sky rocketing of stainless steel you would think its due to a supply and demand thing. When its really not, at least from what I can see. The steel yard seems to have more stainless steel tubing in the lot than I can remember. Looks like I'll be keeping an eye on nickel prices, to see how it translates into cost of tubing.

Damn that is SOOOO tempting. You think with a stage 3 setup, I would pickup anything over my floored fab headers? I believe mine are 1 5/8 primary's with 2.5 collectors....

Its my understanding the larger injectors give a false positive on MGP readings on your dash. My C55 with an AMG supercharger got 28mpg or something crazy like that when I swapped for bigger injectors. In reality I was getting more like 10mpg. Its a calibration issue with the dash. So you dont actually get better gas mileage. In my case, I got worse gas mileage than stock even though my dash was saying I was getting much better then stock.

All LT set up has been plagd with fitments issues (steering column, leaking and rubbing on under body parts
Do not go for the HP/ Trq rout because in the long run, you will want your driveability and peace of mind. Go with tried and tested
Seems there are alot of happy customers with the MBH setup, you issue is if u can get a hold of mike

Your dash readout will be incorrect with bigger injectors (fuel rails don't matter). The computer monitors the pulse width as part of the calculation for MPG. With a bigger injector, you don't need as big of a pulse width for the same rpms (and other factors) as the smaller injector so the computer thinks the motor is getting less fuel.
