    The slk 230K is rated for the same output as the C 230K. There is no reason to use those headers as they are probably the same.
    Completely mad.
    '99 C230K, intake and exhaust more on the way.
    '86 MKIV Escort RS Turbo, stock for now, chip and more boost on the way
    '75 Fiat 124 Spider, koni shocks, bigger carb and drilled/slotted brakes
    to tune and hoon the mbz master race.

    hm no, isn't really a reason to do this. why not go with the supersprint headers? they should give 10/15hp

    Will the bends be right to fit into the engine bay? I have a tune, an exhaust, and a cold air intake and eventually im gonna go for more boost and water meth

    They should but supersprint, while good quality is over priced. I would have a custom header made by a shop near you. You will get the same performance and save some money.

    Speedtuningusa, they did a good job im gonna have them tune it again when i get the supercharger pulley machined and he said im looking at 250hp or so Damn i wish i could hear it, the m111 has a unique sound

    Haha yea, its loud and unique alright. I'm still tweaking the sound, don't use the SLK32 amg exhaust to try and quiet it. It wont, and it sounds kind of ricery (of course the muffler is designed for a V6 so i knew it wouldn't sound like a v6).

    Ive been trying to find a good muffler/res combo for the optimal sound.. and honestly the stock muffler on the SLK230 is so far the best sound with the header + cams

    Hell just use an electic exhaust cutout and scare some hondas

    lol if you use that m111 engine with the supercharger and do any mods to the intake side... you won't have to worry about exhaust scaring people, trust me
