The stock system utilizes narrow, unevenly paired runners that create severe bottlenecks directly at the cylinder head exhaust ports. Under heavy throttle, this generates extreme back pressure, increasing combustion chamber heat soak and suffocating top-end power potential. The factory manifolds prioritize noise suppression and compact engine bay packaging over efficient airflow dynamics, severely limiting both horsepower output and the mechanical V8 exhaust note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThese mid-length, high-flow exhaust headers are precision-engineered to eliminate factory airflow restrictions. Constructed with wider diameter piping, the tubular design promotes superior exhaust scavenging, rapidly extracting spent gases away from the combustion chamber. By dramatically lowering back pressure, the M113 breathes freely, optimizing volumetric efficiency. Naturally aspirated V8 models typically see a 7 to 10 percent increase in horsepower and torque, while supercharged applications yield up to a 15 percent gain. Note: Custom fabrication is required; included downpipes must be welded to the existing exhaust. Specific C215 subframe clearance adjustments may be necessary. For competition off-road use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2000-2006 Mercedes Benz CL-Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eM113 5.0L V8 \/ C215\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e302 hp \/ 339 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n \n  \u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz SL55 AMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz E55 AMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz C55 AMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz SL500 AMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz CLS500 AMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz E500 AMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Notice - W211 (E-Class):\u003c\/strong\u003e Steering shaft interference common\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Notice - W220 \/ C215 (S \/ CL):\u003c\/strong\u003e Subframe clearance issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Notice - R230 (SL):\u003c\/strong\u003e Tight around transmission tunnel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Notice - W203 (C55 AMG):\u003c\/strong\u003e Extremely tight engine bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Mercedes Benz Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEngineered to maximize the respiratory capabilities of European V8 engines, this header upgrade delivers the aggressive power delivery and raw mechanical sound expected from an unrestricted M113 powerplant.
