Spools like a different car

The details
MBH Motorsports is proud to introduce the ultimate exhaust upgrade for the iconic Mercedes SLS AMG. Engineered to maximize the breathing capabilities of the naturally aspirated, dry-sump M159 engine, these long tube headers deliver massive power increases over the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds. By utilizing our highly proven Tri-Y design, this system dramatically improves exhaust scavenging and flow velocity, resulting in staggering gains of over 80 wheel horsepower and 80 wheel torque when paired with our performance ECU tuning.
Proudly handcrafted in the USA, our SLS long tube headers are fabricated from premium 2-inch, heavy-duty 16-gauge 304 stainless steel tubing to handle extreme high-performance thermal stress. Setting a new standard for quality, these headers feature an industry-first: 304 stainless steel billet flanges. CNC-milled directly from a solid block of stainless steel, these billet flanges guarantee a flawless, warp-free seal against the cylinder head under the most punishing racing conditions. Unleash the true supercar sound and power of your SLS AMG with the finest hand-built headers on the market.
Supercar Power Gains: Unlocks in excess of +80 WHP and +80 WTQ over stock when combined with an MBH performance ECU tune.
Advanced Tri-Y Design: Maximizes exhaust gas scavenging and airflow efficiency specifically for the M159 V8.
Industry-First Billet Flanges: Features ultra-durable, CNC-milled 304 stainless steel billet flanges for a perfect, leak-free engine seal.
2-Inch Primary Tubing: Optimized 2-inch primary tubes constructed from heavy-duty 16-gauge stainless steel for maximum flow.
Handcrafted in the USA: Proudly fabricated and precision-welded in the USA for elite structural integrity and lifetime reliability.
Engine: Mercedes-AMG M159 6.2L V8 (Naturally Aspirated, Dry Sump)
Chassis: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe (C197) / SLS AMG Roadster (R197)
