Mercedes C63 Long Tube Headers

[Acid@MSL]

We now have them back in stock with cats and without Gains will be around 100bhp from Stock 450bhp

that sounds awesome but reads like these parts will give 550bhp increase ? thats not what you mean is it ?

can i just ask, why is the trend the americans have for 'headers' now coming over here to the uk? what was wrong with the term 'performance exhaust manifold'? (or 4 branch manifolds, as they were known for 4 cylinder engines, 3 branch for each bank of a V6 etc)

from what i can see, theyre just a modern version of the old 4 branch manifold/downpipe we used to fit to XR3i's etc!

This will only work with a remap and the headers.

yes i get that but thats not how your post reads mate , its all im saying

I would love it if someone made these Headers/ Manifold in the UK !!!
I agree just like the old School Cars

i take it that theyre made in the USA then?

and old school? at the time the XR3i was quite NEW school! we still had plenty of Capri's, Granada mk2s, cortina's, mk2 escorts etc kicking around our mates garages when I was messing around with such things!

those were the days..........when a car could be fixed and diagnosed by a decent mechanic rather than a computer!

I'm surprised that such high gains are available on a NA car, from a change of exhaust manifolds and downpipes. The originals must be very restrictive. So it is 100bhp from removing the artificial detune from MB and 50bhp from the fancy pipe work ?

A 450bhp stock car mapped has seen power increases to 500 bhp to 520 bhp. With the long tube headers/manifolds we have seen 550bhp to 570 bhp with fine dyno tuning.
The stock manifolds are quite restrictive.

Thanks for the clarification - The C63 will be added to the list of cars I'm going to own.
