For that price you may as well go with the Renntech kit.

well first off the headers work with the renntech kit to maximize gains... I mean it would be great if we can keep paying $3,000 and continuously gaining 50 hp, but you can only do this once... unfortunately...

second I am not sure what you mean by "tuned" headers? long tube headers? if that is what you are talking about quiet a few over on mbworld slkworld and benzworld have tried to do this only to come back with nothing stating that their fabricators said it is impossible due to lack of space...
