New kleemann headers FS

These headers have been a display model at the dealership but are now for sale.
They have never been on a car. In fact they are very dusty. They were mounted on a display mock-up. I believe they go for $1000 new these days. So that's what I'm asking. I also believe kleemann may be out of stock.

Make sure you are running higher boost. if you open up your exhaust to 3" all the way through you will likely lose some torque if you're otherwise stock.

How much does it cost for a typical install for these? This is definitely something I want to do soon, but not sure where to install.

I can and I'm sure others can and have put them on in an hour. This is not the first time though and with proper tools. I would say if you're paying someone your looking at 3 or so hrs labor.

There not 900 new.. The price new is $995 plus shipping. Put them up on Ebay. I just saw a USED pair without the down pipes go for over $800..

Thank you! I guess they are going on eBay. Let the low ballers hash it out there.

You do realize that the new ones would come with a bolt on down pipe that would make install a bit easier.
Seems like without those that $700 is a fair price.
Not sure why anyone would pay so close to retail for an incplete set of headers.

Good luck with sale, maybe you will find a taker on ebay.

^ Yup, not to mention the new set from Kleemann is actually brand new, never installed, new in box. These are still a used set, even if it was installed and they never drove the car.

No, these are not used. They have never been on a car. Not sure what you are reading.

Also you think the downpipes are worth $300?
I don't even use them with my exhaust so it's not like you have to have them.

Seems like the eBay auction agreed with this assessment.

$850 is fair for new Kleemanns, even without the downpipes.

$750 is fair...ebay will have fees and we are all like family here lol...what's a hundred bucks? Me personally...I would rather buy them new with all hardware for $995 plus shipping...That's my opinion! You should sell them for $750 and get it over with! I have decided to not do headers do to the mixed reaction I have heard...many say that they make you lose low end torque but it lets more heat out but you're still going to heat soak...etc etc. I personally will live without them! I wish there was someone local to long island that I could do a pull with who has headers! I will be at the captree gathering on the 30th...anyone going with minor bolt ons to do a pull?

No warranty, no bolt on pieces. $7xx sounds fair to me. I am trying to figure out how you got headers from the dealer display and YOU are selling them to make money though I mean, if you owned the dealership or family did I could understand but being an employee how did you manage this?
