Pretty good deal (headers)

Just saw these and ebay and thought I would pass it along in case anyone was looking for some headers.. Seems like a pretty good deal to me..

Not only that, but the collector size is the same as stock, dont really see how you could gain 40 rwhp when longtubes get you 40-50.

When Kleemann set costs $1000, other companies really have a hard time selling their products.

Anyone notice how the dyno curve for the stock run got REALLY flat (maybe HE pump is out) which might account for the 40rwhp gain? Continue that curve and you've got 20rwhp gain which is totally believable.

Thought PLMs were pretty good

Are Kleemann's still selling for $1k new? Pretty sure that was just a sale they were having..

@ FT-P: Sounds interesting.. When do you think they will be available??

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway

Those do produce very good power and torque , no doubt. My dynos over 500rwhp were with these. But, the right side does tend to break. Once welded it will hold fine.

That's why you were asking when FT was making headers meaning your "interested". Actually I did get another car and drive both. Anything else you would like to chime on Mr. I hate my life?

I have seen a 560whp dyno with kleemans so I don't think thee is anymore power left swapping over to full long tubes.

Kleemann raped the whole Mercedes tax the companies were demanding when they dropped the price on them.
