Anyone else making quality longtube headers for the E55 except mbh motorsports?

 

Fabtech makes some and VRP Speed sells a couple options.

 

Which one is most bang for the buck

 

What about American Racing?

 

MBH$$$$$>ARH$$$>ProjectB5$$.5 >OBX $$

There are others, Shardul even sells some for about $1k for the M113k if I am not mistaken

 

I read the PB5 don't fit right at all

I'm leaning towards just doing long tubes when the time is right for mine instead of mid length... But 2.6k just for parts is a bit out of my price range considering it'll be close to $1500 to have them put in...

 

$1500 I would say is too much... I wouldn't think it would cost more than $1k at the nicest shop in the world to install them

I know one or two guys running them on their monsters then read about one guy that had them installed and had an issue with a heat shield vibrating which just about every long tube could possibly have this issue.

Create goals:
Dyno queen,street beast or drag monster

Build car around those goals

You can do very well with mids, LTH will loose some torque down low due to a lack of backpressure

Build your goals then design the car modifications around those goals

 

I have no cats or res, so I'm already running at 0 back pressure lol

I'd want the long tubes for the sound (if there is a difference at all)

My goal is street monster DUH

The quote I got for $1500 was from C2, the best shop locally in Tampa Bay just a few days ago.... he did say the car will need a tune after that so I am not sure if he included that in the price (I can just hit up EC and get a reflash for $35, should be adequate, no?)

Another plus I see with the long tubes is that the fabtech kit comes with an xpipe, which I so dearly need because my exhaust is a welded nightmare and it looks like complete dog**** (again, not my doing I bought the car like this...), so if there are no fitment issues with that brand I could care less about their customer service.

Otherwise I'll hit up shardul, order the mid length, see what he can offer for the rest of the exhaust, find a shop that'll do it for ~$1000 and call it a day. I'd like to keep my exhaust costs under $2k.

 

I live in Sweden, and I had a mail conversation with MBH, their parts are bolt on and OEM fitment according to themself. I still not recived any answer about cheaper shipment that they promised to calculate on.

The OBX headers could be fake at the shop u buying them, cuz there are alot of companies copying them.

Project5 dunno what that is, but found that they are on a sale http://www.projectb5.com/product/pb5...ngtube-headers

I am only interested in Longtube headers and no Kleeman made in china manifolds.

MBH PRICE
shipping is $752
Headers $2300
Mid-section $500
Xpipe $375
Cats $550
