Performance Headers

using AMS stuff?
I never heard any good stuff about this company's products?
there were a few guys on the US forum that used AMS crank pulley, but they weren't happy with these performance parts?
Parts looks good on picture but in the real world of AMG performance no goodlookin' pictures will help at all increasing HP in an AMG engine![/QUOTE]

Hi Kowalski

It's true AMS doesn't have that great a reputation, but they are getting better. I personally didn't have much luck with their headers which cracked twice! But, I will say this! Their customer service is great.

They deliver fast, and put my orders down as a 'gift' for less import tax. Also when I told them about my cracked headers they offered me money off my next purchase or a free crank pulley (I bought my pulley at the same time as their headers, but they said to sell it on). When I told them about my headers a second time I was offered a full refund and to keep the headers! That's when I went to EMP!:bannana:

About my pulley I can honestly say that it works!

Maybe the American guys didn't torque it up properly or center it?

What I found with mine is my engine picks up revs quicker, it is smoother, and I get better mileage! (Around 30 miles to a tank).

It's said to make 10-20hp but it was hard to notice. I am pleased with it though.
 
Hey, thanks DRB!:thumb:

You can't get many pictures on though.
 
Latest update!

My exhaust system is now complete.

Over the last weekend EMP Performance installed my 'bullet' cats. I drove the car around to let my ECU adapt and returned there today to see about a remap and put some spacer rings on my E55 brake discs.

Whilst there we shot a quick video with my phone and took some shots.
Again please excuse the sound quality!

What I can tell you is that I've gained a useful amount of low down torque thanks to added back pressure. I like the new tone to the exhaust, it's more polished and muted. It definately sounds better in person. Everyone agreed that it sounds more supercar exotic.

My car feels smoother and is quieter which makes it seem quicker!

A+++ to them and a very high recomendation! :rock:

Here's the pics of the underside to the back box.
