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
MBH Motorsports is proud to offer the very first long tube header system to market for the M152-powered Mercedes SLK55 AMG. The naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M152 is a phenomenal engine, but restrictive factory exhaust components severely limit its true potential. By alleviating these severe bottlenecks, our long tube headers transform the compact SLK55 into a true supercar killer. When paired with proper performance ECU tuning, this system unlocks massive, dyno-proven gains exceeding +70 wheel horsepower.
Unlike many aftermarket exhaust upgrades, this kit is engineered as a complete, 100% bolt-on setup. To make installation as seamless as possible, the system includes the matching mid-section, ensuring a perfect fit with absolutely zero cutting, welding, or fabrication required. Proudly handcrafted in the USA using premium heavy-duty 16-gauge T-304 American stainless steel, these headers offer unmatched thermal endurance, structural integrity, and maximum exhaust scavenging for your SLK55.
Pioneering Design: The first long tube header system ever developed specifically for the M152-powered SLK55 AMG.
Supercar Power Gains: Unlocks staggering performance increases of over 70+ wheel horsepower when paired with an ECU tune.
Complete Bolt-On Kit: Includes the matching mid-section for a true, hassle-free bolt-on installation with zero cutting or welding required.
USA 16-Gauge 304 Stainless Steel: Proudly hand-fabricated in the USA for lifetime durability and extreme thermal resistance.
Aggressive V8 Sound: Dramatically enhances the exhaust note, unleashing the deep, commanding growl of the 5.5L V8.
Engine: Mercedes-AMG M152 5.5L V8 (Naturally Aspirated)
Chassis: Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG (R172)
