OK. Your headers are mounted backwards compared to the others then, with the exhaust exit in the front, where the cat mounts. Get a set of headers from most any other iron M117 to have them at the rear end, reducing even more the heat under the hood. The complete exhaust system (including headers) from a '77 on 450SL should work nicely, if you can fid one reasonably priced.
