Dyno-Comp releases long tube headers for the SLS AMG M159 V8 - Dyno and pictures

[Sticky]

Here is another M159 V8 header option for SLS AMG owners. There is not exactly a ton of long tube header options on the market for the SLS and the Supersprint system is generally considered one of the highest quality options out there although quite pricey. Dyno-Comp is throwing their solution into the mix featuring a tri-Y design made with 304 stainless steel piping and 321 stainless steel flanges.

Dyno-Comp did dyno the headers on a Dyno Dynamics and got a baseline of 440 horsepower to the wheels. They then added a tune, filters, and their headers resulting in 531 horsepower at the wheels. 91 horsepower at the wheels with bolt ons for an M159 V8? That seems quite optimistic with a 440 wheel Dyno Dynamics baseline and BenzBoost looks forward to third-party results verifying the claimed horsepower gains.

Additionally, due to a single dyno with a tune, filter, and the headers versus the stock baseline it is difficult to evaluate the impact and quality of the header design alone. More useful data would be a dyno with the headers alone, then with the filters, and then with the tune to see the changes at each individual stage.

Regardless, it is nice to have another header option for the SLS AMG on the market. Pictures, dynograph, and video below.
