Headers anyone???

They would, however, be able to do a set for your setup.

You mentioned that you have an SLK32 coming in. I wouldn't imagine these 2 cars being all that different. They use the same engine, M112, and the chassis is the same as well, R170. What is the scheduling for that particular build? My folks live in Foothills, AZ and I could take a trip over there for a test fit.

Our experience tells us that the majority of customers prefer a bolt on system that directly replaces a component and complies with strict emissions and inspection standards. Some of the systems we build replace everything, and our race only headers are typically one off! Ultimately I prefer to build a complete replacement over the shorty headers. A nice long tube, stepped, with a proper merge collector will yield the best results. Whether its stepped or not also plays a roll in where the power comes (RPM) and for how long. Each segment of the step also contributes to this... for most street cars we don't use any steps, unless its a dual purpose street/race car. I'm excited to see what can be improved upon over the stock system...

Personally I would prefer long tube, stepped design replacing the primary cats.

We could just plug-in an oxygen simulator on the second O2 sensors, shouldn't be that hard to do.

The Super Sprint headers would have been terrific if they fit the engine compartment... Let me know if you need the specs that Burns Stainless provided...

There is constricted flow, it's a nearly straight main collector with almost 90 degree inlets from each of the three cylinders... Kinda looks like an "F" with an extra inlet...
