Found these while browsing fleabay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-W211-E55-AMG-03-06-Slip-On-Long-Tube-Headers-with-200-Cell-Cats-/390810898165?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5afe250ef5&vxp=mtr

The price is great almost make me a little suspicious that's why I was seeing if anyone has them. I agree the bolt on collector looks like a headache it would be prone to exh leaks. These guys aren't to far from me I might give them call and get some more info.

I use a slight amount of exhaust putty when I install this type of header on the collector

Looks nice .. welds look good .. dislike collector design. They will leak and throw off sensor readings. The torque from our engines will eventually cause any sealant to crack and leak ..

With how big those collectors are would definitely require cutting them out. And with our engine mounts that last maybe 50k miles you know eventually they'll be coming back out

This place is a joke.
That collector design probably makes them hang real low under the car too.

Supersprint/kleeman copys arent they? I am looking at buying a set for my RHD e55 and attempting to modify them to fit.....
