? Quick question? Is this the set of 'equal length headers'? I was under the impression the term 'equal length' meant each exhaust pipe was the same length. Clearly in this picture, they are not. ?

Your absolutely correct. They are not I mis-spoke although I thought they were closer to equal than they look in the pic. But you are right they are more a set of Shorty headers and not equal. Good correction.

For the sake of sharing info I will share that the clk430 and the e55 have the same motor mounts perhaps this will save someone else money down the road. Posts will be slow but yes this is still happening.

Finally got the rims and tires on. Now the car is ready for the larger rotors and AMG calipers. Next focus point will be 3" exhaust with a barrel spun cat and muffler leaning toward flowmaster.

Rotors have arrived so I should be doing the brake upgrade soon. Still debating on whether or not to go with ss brakelines.

Not sure if there is any additional interest in this thread but I am going to be in need of an ecu soon so for those that have that ability if you come across this reach out to me and let's see if we can get something worked out

Since no one seems to be helping you/me out I decided to break my vow of silence. I am no longer on the forum, nor have plans to come back. A lot of people here know this lol and tell me about your posts but never tell you how to reach me (I'll be calling them later lol). I have my very own Facebook page for inquiries. I'm also on instagram under the same user name as the forum. My Facebook is 'The Mercedes Swap Shop'.

So please, spread the word. Yes I still do ECU jobs, it's $1500. Not sure if Rudy still does, but he charges $1900 the last I heard. Other than that, you can go to pheonixphil (no idea how to get ahold of him) and he'll do it for 10,000 euro's. No I didn't put an extra 0 lol. Other than that, you literally have no other option.

To the guys on here that I used to talk to, I'm sorry but the forum is just no longer my thing.

Not sure what the other conversions are running to feed the fuel but I decided to pick up a Bosch 044. Not much to update at this point. Just about have all the parts gathered now I just need to decide on an ecu.

Supercharger arrived. Very glad I pulled the trigger on it because of how complete it is. Just needs a pulley and I will likely go aftermarket for that anyway.
