Default CMI's or keith ekert headers ???

just curious if anyone has these on a 496HO, are they worth it, and positive or negatives with them? also if you can provide #'s that would be awesome, pictures would also be a plus. thanks

You don't say which cmis. None the less, no matter which cmi you choose, it will not out do the eickerts. Most likely will be much less. Particulary if an e-top or similar pipe. I run KEs on twin 470cids engines and like them. The KEs would be a nice fit for the 496cid.

Big Yellow Cat runs 2000+hp on them with turbos. We put some power through them as well.

When you say Kieth Eickert headers, do you actually mean the Hardin stainless set they sell? 496HO Typhoon headers?

http://www.hardin-marine.com/product...on_headers.htm

They appear to be very nice and are supposidly are going to have some dyno numbers very soon.
