Cheap LTH Headers TOP SPEED PRO1
Hi,

Has anyone used/come across these LT headers before: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Be...AAAOSw4uhczIer

Look decently priced, but no idea on performance gains or sound

Here's the only video I found:

It looks like the other supersprint knock-offs from before which is said to be poor. I think you're better off with the cheap ones from vrp.

Here is the supersprint exhaust, it's pricey

Got it, thanks a lot.

I spoke to their online chat rep (topspeedpro), and they quoted 10whp gain which didn't sound promising either.

Yes, thinking of either the VRPs, or might just pull the trigger on ARH (American Racing Headers). Worth 25% of my car value and very highly priced, but I've seen great videos on their performance (namely Ruben's ).

​​​Looking for $3k shipped MAX for catted LTHs from ARH, let's see if I find a deal!

You should have a look at mbh as well. Same style as arh.

Yea that slip fit set up has a high potential for leaks especially with the 4 into one collector in the video.

Thanks, yes I did look at those.

Looks much more expensive if I add on the mid section with x pipe (+$975) and high flow cats (+$950) on top of the headers (+$1,995), which come as part of the ARH package to begin with.

I am sure it will be no problem aligning all those slip-fits and exhaust clamps to avoid rattles and leaks...lol.
IMHO, if you plan on keeping your car for awhile get the MBH, if not grab some Kleemann mid lengths.
Good luck!

Yes, you're correct. Mbh have sales form time to time. Anyhow, arh is well tried and can't go wrong. Some have reported rubbing here on the forum with both arh and mbh but I think that's been fixed.

I think there was a set of used ARH headers in the market place ads on MB World.

Easy way to fix any chance of rubbing would be to swap in some East Coast Euro motor mounts while you're in there installing the headers.

If you do find them let me know! Can't seem to see in the marketplace.

Not sure if they’re still for sale. That was 1-2 months ago. They could have been sold.
