But not cracking. Another good/bad situation I guess.
Out of curiosity, I requested a quote from alibaba for the headers only, no mid pipe. $359.00. Bam!
Time for a group buy?
I mean, surely the design is lacking in a few areas, and MBH is of much better quality, and will give more power, no doubt. But this is very tempting.

I was going to go that route, the problem I had is that if it didn't fit right or didn't look as good as the pic there's nothing you can do, that's why buying from companies like EC , kleeman, mbh is just a safer move

Not sure why you'd want that. This setup will be way easier to install and the comments about leaks and such are a bit overstated imo. Also it should never crack.
This thing is pretty much a 3-4000USD header setup designed by supersprint in italy unless someone on here has first hand experience with one of these leaking I find it kinda hard to believe they'd have the cheek to sell anyone a header for that sort of money that leaks.
Its not like the pipes just slip in and theres nothing to seal it. It appears to come with thick gasket rings and is held together with springs I really dont think this thing should leak.

I asked for a quote aswell and the guy told me it would be 840 for the whole set with a minimum purchase of 10 sets. Just headers for 420 with a minimum purchase of 20 sets. I also asked him if he would sell a sample and he mentioned that he can't but that there are vendors in USA that sell his headers.

Alright guys. I have 3 people confirmed for "testing" a "sample". I need a few more to make this happen at a reasonable price (shipping goes down per unit). I'm not posting prices, or any further details just so I don't step on the larger companies feet. I should be hearing back in a few days when they get back from vacation over there. This will be a member to member deal. As is...those willing to take the risk will take the risk.
I do want some LT headers though....mmmmmm
PM me if you want in. Price is unset right now but should remain close to those prices above unless something changes or those weren't the actual cost for a small order.
6 humans now...

I have my car at the local EC shop right now in MD, getting the headers installed. Did a base dyno run. Car dynoed 427whp as I was told. This is with small s/c pulley and EC tune, with FTP HE. And I think they have the dynojet machine, not sure though. Will do another dyno after the LT installation. Hopefully, they can get Jerry to do a custom tuning for me because that number seems low to me for a dynojet.

What search keywords are you guys using in Alibaba to find the headers for an E55?
** Update** Found them.... I was searching on AliExpress instead of Alibaba

I got 2 quotes for an identical set of these from 2 suppliers on Alibaba where you can order 1 set instead of a minimum of 10 etc and the quotes were $815 and $835 for the EXACT (100%) system the OP has put up with mirror finish
I can PM the supplier details to anyone interested

Yeah, gat them fitted on the car. Dyno was corrected. Car made 409 whp before headers, and 446 whp after the headers installation. According to the tech, I picked up a lot. He stated that his dyno machine numbers dyno low, and the car picked up a lot of HP.

That's awesome dude! What mods do you have on your car besides the headers? How does it sound? Any pictures of the install? That's a huge improvement.
