Why does acp.com have two different headers for the CLS. It says one for auto and one for 6 speed. Does that mean that the headers are not the same. In other words I can't get CT headers for my auto now then transfer em to my 6 speed later???

That is true, since the transmissions are different I assume, the placement of them are a bit different.

I could be wrong though?

 

get the ones for the 6 mt they will fit both

 

Get the 6MT and it will fir both sweet then I will tnx .

I think the LSD was in the way. The only difference is one of the pipes has a different bend in it. On the 6 speed headers, one of the pipes has a little more bend in it to avoid hitting the LSD!! The 6 speed headers should fit both!!!! typeR had a great idea!!!

 

Yes, I think Dean said that Comptech is actually switching all production to the design that they use for the 6-Speed.
That way they only have to deal with ONE part number and stock item.

Here’s a photo of the rear bank of the headers.
You can see the “little” bend they had to make.

Ah...a bend in the pipe. Less horsepower! LOL

 

a LSD is in the transmission you know where the drive shafts go in CV joint its inside that area...it was one of the 2 additional motor mount s the 6mt has that was in the way

 

less performance with bent pipe?

 

Less HP...REALLY .


Tell me do the 6MT headers produce less hp then the auto's?

Tnx

Even if these headers produced less hp...I doubt someone with a 6spd would really feel the difference.

 

Nah....same power, just bent to clear the rear engine mount. The pipe is still equal length, just turned now instead of straight.

Thanks
