Cheap Chinese Headers don't cost much but how bad do they fit? In this video, I install the cheapest long tube headers I could find on my 2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG and show you the good, the bad and the ugly truth with these types of exhaust systems. You may be surprised with the end results so stay tuned for the startup and test drive at the end. Oh, I also install Maybach engine mounts and a CLK Black Series Trans Mount!!

    Bro I dont mean to be rude but it seems more like ur problem. Back in China we pay 1000 bucks to get way better quality and original designed headers for E55. And if you donโ€™t wanna go through all the importing procedures, you can always pay a bit more not to get the cheapest stuff on the market.

    No reason to dislike cheap China made stuff , we all love taiwan made gear even tho its now becoming less cheap , the two countries are the SAME peoples like canada , america and Aussie ) oi , oi , oi ! ) But less moniesssss!!!!!! Only thing you get with cheap exhausts is rubbish stainless and believe me , as. aTIG welder in AUS , we get Taiwan JUNK for piping and even food grade staino nowadays ( used to be all SWEDISH!!!!!!!) and it is junk , Taiwan is worse than China in quality , m a y b e …….

    @legitstreetcars or anyone else – How can you reduce the risk of breaking the studs off in the engine or having the studs come out as happened in this video? Would it be a good idea to get some heat in the engine earlier in the day (drive it earlier) and still work on the car when it is somewhat warm (not too warm obviously as you don't want to burn yourself). What about using a blow torch to heat up the nuts?

    I wonder how would it sound with magnaflow exhaust

    Gives you a real appreciation as to why OEM and factory parts cost what they do

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars VsRebuilds says:

    Damn Is your Frame Bent where the previous owner did some โ€œModificationsโ€ to make the other headers fit? To the left of that area the frame looks Smashed in

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars VsRebuilds says:

    So you said the long tube headers make the Engine make less boostโ€ฆ right? Ok. Less boost means less powerโ€ฆ correct? So how do they make an extra 50hp? Seems like you would be losing Power ?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shinichi Fukumoto says:

    Hey !! if you think everything from China cheap and shit then DON'T buy them…you cheap asshole …!!!!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Soldier of Jesus GDC says:

    I buy for my cls 55 amg soon ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LegitStreetCars says:

    What should I do next to the E55?
