Spools like a different car
Backpressure gone. Boost comes in a full 400rpm sooner and it pulls all the way to redline now. Fitment was dead-on — no massaging, no fighting the O2 bungs.

The details
Engineered and perfected on our own in-house shop car, the MBH Motorsports SL55 AMG Long Tube Headers are designed to deliver extraordinary performance. By eliminating severe factory exhaust restrictions, this system unlocked an astonishing +46 wheel horsepower over stock during our dyno testing—giving the heavy R230 chassis the aggressive, raw acceleration needed to outrun many modern supercars.
Built to uncompromising standards, these headers feature heavy-duty 16-gauge T-304 stainless steel primary tubes mated to warp-resistant T-321 stainless steel flanges. To guarantee maximum exhaust gas velocity, every unit is precisely purge-welded and individually hand-ported at the flange to ensure flawlessly smooth internal airflow with zero turbulence.
Proudly hand-fabricated in the USA, this header system is the ultimate starting point if you are looking to add substantial, dyno-proven power to your SL55 AMG. Beyond the sheer power increase, it unlocks the aggressive supercharged V8 roar that the M113K engine is famous for.
Massive Power Gains: Dyno-proven to add +46 wheel horsepower over restrictive stock exhaust manifolds.
In-House Developed: Fine-tuned and rigorously tested on the MBH Motorsports SL55 AMG project car for optimal performance.
USA 16-Gauge T-304 Stainless Steel: Handcrafted in the USA using premium American stainless steel for ultimate thermal endurance.
T-321 Stainless Flanges: Utilizes ultra-durable T-321 stainless steel at the mounting flanges to prevent warping and exhaust leaks under extreme heat.
Precision Craftsmanship: Fully purge-welded and hand-ported to eliminate turbulence and maximize exhaust scavenging.
Broad Compatibility: Fits R230 SL500 models when paired with smaller connecting pipes.
Engine: Mercedes-AMG M113K 5.4L V8 Supercharged (SL55) / M113 5.0L V8 (SL500)
