A lot of members here run the Kleeman shorties (catless) and have made good horsepower.

MBH Long tubes (catless) make a bit more horsepower and torque than the kleemans.

The difference is debatable because you can pick up Kleemans for $900 rather than $2.5k for the MBH.

^ Agreed
But op should also consider ARH for a LT header.

To the OP, I'm also in the Philly area and am considering decision between Kleemann manifolds and MBH Long Tubes.

Going to call Fabspeed and get a quote on installed price. I'll let you know what they say.

Turns out Kleemann doesn't make the manifolds for the E63 anymore. They have moved to long tube headers. There's a really good thread by GMP Performance showing the product and install
