Ok, I just bought a header on Ebay, but its for a 2.3L kompressor engine. My question is; Will this header fit my 95 C220? Just in case someone says "SEARCH" i did search and looks like it fits, but i just want to make sure it does. thanks

Why would you buy it THEN wonder if it fits?

They have different part numbers. SO they are obviously different.
Why not just buy on for the C220? It isnt like no one makes them. If you say, it's because of the cost, then you own the completely wrong car to start with.

well, my main concern WAS that it wouldn't fit to the cylinder head, BUT I answered my own question. IT DOES FIT. I found out that the exhaust manifold to cylinder gasket is the same on the c200, c220 and c230 NA and K. the part number is 1111420880. thanks for taking your time to reply.
nada personal, se agradece de todas formas, saludos.;)

it may bolt up to the cylinder head, But, I know it wont fit C230/C230K simply because stock ones look like this ..

.. and ebay ones look like this..

like I said, I dont know if it will fit a C220 but im positive it wont directly fit a C230 motor. either way, the design looks poor I dont know if you will gain anything, and if its for the looks - it sure doesnt look that great! :rolleyes:

What about the rest of it? It may bolt to the cylinder head properly but that doesnt mean it will fit in the engine bay. Pretty much like Remo said.

^^there is only one way of knowing that. lets see if it fit or not. it doesnt hurt to see if it fit or not. after all, i have better plans on the power department for the c220. and im not talking about a turbo or SC or n2o. :D im gonna be called a blasfemious(spelling?):p I'll keep you guys informed...

The one that Remo posted does not fit a 94 C220 without some modification.

The part number for the exhaust gasket you posted is different than mine you you might make out ok.
Keep us posted.

ImportPR those ebay headers wont directly fit, you will bolt them up but as you can see you have to cut and weld in order to have it fit the lower pipe.

Jstrats headers wont directly fit either, but they look much better then the ebay ones with poor design. :(
