A very beautiful sight! Those are the one's I thought Mclare had been saying he had all along since he said they were AMG headers.
48hp...Good luck on the quest. I am sure you will have those headers in no time since it seems that you are often the only one to ask if anyone has rare bits, then that rare bit pops up like it was just waiting for someone to ask for it! You have the knack of tracking stuff down.
I thought there was a guy in California that had AMG headers, which he had loaned to Jono for the same purpose, to replicate? Surprised Jono hasn't chimed in here yet, either way (has them or doesn't have them)....
Those were Eddie's (cyberdrakon) set of NOS AMG headers that I think Jono ended buying. From what I remember, they were not 100% complete. I remember Eddie wanted to have the one missing piece replicated. Don't know how that turned out.
the ones from xtcbytes were just stock tri's iirc. The car was a 86 500SEC and had no other bits of AMGness so I'd be surprised if the headers were. As mentioned the only ones I was aware of in recent mention were the ones Jim put on his car from Jack (560truck)
My Gen I headers are off my 5.4 as of right now. I just had them ceramic coated by Swain Tech and are in a box waiting to get mounted to my (completely) rebuilt engine. I just got my heads back two days ago from full rebuild/reconditioning and am waiting for one of my AMG camshafts to come back from polishing along with one custom head gasket from Elring (they made and sent two of the same side....). All of my yellow cadmium plating is also due back early this coming week.
I think Jono sold his NOS set in the past couple of months.
Only other set is the guy in San Diego with the Gen I AMG SEL for sale like mine who says his 5.4 motor has headers.
well hurry up and start remaking these things, we only need one guy to get them and have a successful install in order to prompt others to buy. $1200 for a extra 30HP would be nice.
+29hp was gained when removing the very restrictive gen I US spec exhaust system. Smaller gains will be seen when upgrading from euro logs or gen II exhaust systems.
I recall a photo of engine on a stand with white AMG cast iron tri-y manifolds posted by either Dr Grillz or Jono some number of years ago. Can't seem to find it.
Aside from the occasional bargin, markus is spot on. Timevalve once offered downpipes.
