[W126 Coupe] Additional 560 SEC Exhaust and performance questions

[Josh Allen]

If you can find a set, you might use a set of the OEM Tri-Y headers, but 
they are a little difficult to source.
Another option would be to talk to Jonathan here on the list, as he 
makes some aftermarket headers. 

As far as I know, those are the only two options, barring fabricating a 
set yourself. 
Before I knew that Jonathan had some for sale, I was asking the only 
reputable shop that I know of locally, and they were quoting me ~$1500 
for a set that they just put together, no testing or development, other 
than whatever they attempted to apply from other vehicles that they've 
built for.

Best of luck!

On a different note, what are you having done in the rebuild of your 
tranny?  I'm looking to do something similar to my 500SEC tranny before 
I put it back together.
