Installing CHEAPEST headers on my c63 w204 (tips and tricks, and review)

UPDATE after 1 year:
Daily drive my car and no complaints other than the gaskets they provide are cheap quality. Use the OEM gaskets instead. No cracks, no weird vibrations. Sound and fit great.
Racing my friends identical c63 (same tune, same mods, his long tube headers are more expensive version), mine pulls slightly more. (May be unrelated to header design differences, but they aren’t hindering power).
Took a gamble and ordered some headers from Alibaba. Turned out to be a lot nicer than I was expecting.
Total shipped was about $720. Headers cost about $420 plus shipping and fees.
Took about two weeks to get them in.
Few tips and tricks to installing them yourself, plus some sound clips.

Invaluable info showing the combo of extensions and sockets. Thank you

The thing about saving money with cheap headers is you will have the huge pain in the ass of installing them twice once the welds break. If you can deal with that, go on. Best case they‘ll never break and you have some cheap headers.

@aldinbabba418 2 месяца назад

Hey have a question finally got around to installing them but I’m having exhaust leaks at the clamps to the little mid pipes that go over the metal brace and into the resonator? Did your clamps work well or do they leak? Need some help of you don’t mind! Mine vibrates and has leaks at the clamp points and where it connects to the resonator thanks!

@cody1413 2 месяца назад

Mine worked well. However, I believe I welded most of the pipes and just clamped to the headers. I’ll have to check next time I’m under it. No issues with my clamps though

Dude great video honestly. Idk if I would get the China version but they don't sound too bad! The job is a bitch to do huh? I'm not looking forward to it lol

@cody1413 11 дней назад

@@ronnysunoo it’s not hard just tedious. Some bolts can be a pain to get to. I think it’s harder to remove the stock manifolds vs installing the new ones. Just make sure you get all the bolts/nuts started before you tighten them down. Gives you some wiggle room to start the next bolt.

Should I go VRP or Becker is perfect for money

@cody1413 Год назад

Becker have different outlet flanges from what I’ve seen. They don’t directly bolt up like these cheap Chinese headers or VRP.

Since you installed it more then 1 year ago can you tell me your opinion about them and is there any damages or effects?

@cody1413 Год назад

No complaints other than the exhaust gaskets they provide don’t last long. I would use new OEM gaskets. Fitment is great. Compared sounds to my friends car who has a different brand long tube headers and mine seems a bit louder and slight different tone.

@christianbugatticg Год назад

Just made a 2AM purchase on these! Ended up being $576 delivered… time to play the waiting game! Do you still have the car?

Yup! Still have it. I will say to use oem gaskets and not the aluminum crush style ones the headers come with.

Have you experienced any rubbing / rattling since these were installed ? I got the same one and every time i go to turn left they’re vibrating on the cross member or something idk

Nope, no noises for me. You might check your engine mounts, if they’re old and collapsed they may let the exhaust rub.

@cody1413 Год назад

@@danielamg1363 there’s nothing the headers could do to damage the engine. You will need a tune after installing the headers. If you’re not tuned already, you’ll gain probably 50-80hp if not more with headers. Build quality Is quite good. Only complaint is the bolt holes are a bit larger, but still fits just fine.

let me see if i understood... your setup remove: original header / 1st and 2nd cats but maintained the ressonator and mufflers, am i right? my question is because i get the same JDLD kit for my c63... and my exhaust system is completelly OEM. it is my dailly car so i am afraid about the noise when i am not accellerating... is it loud in normal situatiion?i know if i accel the noise will appear but my question is in normal situation( driving in city for ex.)

@cody1413 Год назад

Headers, then x-pipe, then factory mufflers. Everything else is removed. Car is very quiet unless over 1/2 throttle. Can barely hear the exhaust when driving down the highway.

How are they holding up 9 months later? Are you running an X pipe (in place of secondary cats) and straight pipe (in place of resonator) and stock mufflers in that cold start clip?
