I could not agree with you more.
Fortunately, guys with 525s now have some choices when it comes to replacing those headers.

When MR sells the CMI's on a 525 are they warrantied same as engine and if they spring a leak is the engine damage covered?

I personally think manifolds are not very attractive at all. I will stick with high polish SS Headers from CMI.

If that's true, it would backup my thought's on how much MR is actually paying for the CMI's The only reason KE wouldn't want to go there is if MR low balled them so much they decided it wasn't worth it. I've seen it happen before: CMI may be making almost nothing on their sales to MR, but are counting on the fact that having everyone see their stuff on Blue motors will sell a lot more of the normaly priced headers to compensate.

And how about the replacements on all of those MR engines when they get out of their warranty and they leak? Why, hello Fred, got any pipes? I don't think Stellings making a competitive replacement was within their business plan.

Brad,
Nice looking piece and rigging job. What was the process you used to get your alternator looking clean?

What's the tube length of those headers you're using?
