| Hello all, I have a set of Renntech Shorty Headers that have been on my car for about 3k miles. ***They are in perfect condition*** I am selling for a significant discount on MSRP. I am looking for 2k USD for this set. Please PM me if you are interested. Reason for selling I"m going to non emission approved longtube headers. SOLD THANK YOU Last edited by jliu; 06-23-2007 at 12:37 PM. |

| I might be interested... How hard are they to install? Dealer/speed shop job, or DIY with skills? ...and you're near by! |

| Hey mate, ECU wont mind them being there you should get a noticeable difference just from installing the things a new map would allow it to be fine tuned a little because more fuel could be added.

| You would lose warranty on the exhaust, engine should not be effected since the headers are a bolt on component not a mod to the engine itself. It depends on your dealer if it where me i would happy take the loss of the exhaust warranty and gain the headers not much goes wrong with a steel tube so warranty is not vital.

| Wow this is like that "big brother" program! I didn't know SLKworld had a SLK "mentoring" program. I'm already into the car, and now headers. I may need to keep my eye on jliu or I'll be looking for a supercharger for my 55! -D |

| I got a quote for the SuperSprint's a long time ago they were very expensive, I guess that was due to the fact its made in Italy which differentiates it from other manufacturers interms of added value.

Is there any difference in the engine bay between the 06 and 07- these headers *will* work year to year like this, right? | |
