I had good luck with the Dana's, nice piece, good flow, polished gives good bling, much cheaper than headers. I like headers the best but fewer potential long term issues with the Dana's and good price!

The gil's are a definite improvement and are very durable, the dana's are a bit more like headers as they keep the individual runners from coming together for a long distance. I believe they make something like 3 models according to horsepower. I got mine from Fred at Trick Marine...........maybe you ought to call someone else though.

x2 Vote for Dana Marine.

They make the same Hp on the top end as Lightning headers on an independant test on a 496HO.

The are seperate headers to just before the water enters at the end of the tailpipe, and they make three different sizes of tailpipes for different sizes of motors.

Absolutely loved mine on my last build.
Built to last.
