Shorty Headers for C63 E63 CLS63 AMG – M156 6.2L Performance Upgrade

Get the perfect balance of power, sound, and drivability for your Mercedes-Benz 63 AMG with Power Driven Shorty Headers for the M156 6.2L V8. Built from premium 304 stainless steel and expertly hand TIG welded, these shorties increase mid-range torque, sharpen throttle response, and unlock the true character of the M156—while keeping factory catalytic converters in place. No cutting. No welding. No compromises.

Shorty headers are ideal for M156 owners who want stronger mid-range response without deleting factory catalytic converters. Unlike long-tube headers, they maintain low-end torque and drivability—making them perfect for street cars, track days, and daily-driven C 63, E 63, and CLS 63 AMG models.

🔥 Key Benefits – Why These Shorties Work

• Improves mid-range torque where the M156 spends most of its time—perfect for track corners and roll-ons.
• Faster throttle response thanks to smoother, less restrictive exhaust flow.
• One-piece stainless design built for durability and clean engine bay clearance.
• 100% bolt-on install using factory mounting points with no cutting or welding required.
• RHD compatible for international markets.
• 0.38-inch CNC-machined flange provides a warp-resistant, leak-free seal.
• Real-world performance gains: up to 22 whp and 25 wtq depending on mods.
• Includes complete hardware kit with gaskets and mounting hardware.
• 1-year limited warranty for peace of mind.

🔊 Exhaust Sound – Refined, Aggressive, Not Obnoxious

Shorty headers give the M156 6.2L a deeper idle, sharper throttle bark, and a more mechanical top-end growl—without turning the car into a drone monster. Because the OEM cats remain in place, the tone stays crisp, refined, and daily-friendly.

🏎️ Shorty Headers vs Long-Tubes – Which Is Right for You?

Shorty headers deliver the best mid-range performance, responsiveness, and OEM-cat compatibility. If you want maximum top-end power and don’t mind removing catalytic converters, long-tube headers may be a better match.

🧰 Installation Notes
