They are drakes, from the early 80's to 90's. They were the hot lick back in the day. Infact I have 2 pair of them that might be going on our boat.. There is also a different peice that goes on top where your elbow is that is like the long tubes on gills exc.. Kinda look like K E headers..

Thanks for the info, I thought they might be Drakes. I plan on putting a couple of big turbos on these.

Yah that wou;d work out nice if ya have the room to mount them in the back. Easy to fab a base up that will hook the turbo up to the drakey

little more info on them that was emailed to me.

THESE PICTURES ARE THE OLD LIGHTNING PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS OFFSHORE EXHAUST SYSTEM, THIS WAS BACK IN THE LATE 80'S WHEN KEITH EICKERT WAS THERE. THIS MANIFOLD WAS A GREAT MANIFOLD, THE BOLT PATTERN ON TOP WAS A DOMTA. CARB BOLT PATTERN. THEY WERE 34.5" WIDE ON A STD DECK BLOCK WITH CAST IRON GM HEADS AND AROUND 25" HIGH , THESE WOULD NOT FIT IN A DUAL ENGINE, ONLY STAGGER OR CAT BOATS. LIGHTNING CHANGED ITS NAME TO TORQUE ENGINEERING WHEN KEITH LEFT THE COMPANY.
