I'm retaining the stock side exhaust, and am trying to decide between custom Lightning headers made for side exhaust, or buying Dana Flow Torque manifolds and vortex or standard Risers. I'm worried about reversion, and know the lightning headers would be the best. But have been in contact with Raylar among others, and have been told almost any good manifold and riser combo should work well because of the bend and slope of my exhaust after it exits the riser.

So what are everyones thoughts? and Who has the best prices on Dana and lightning, any discounts out there?

Raylar

When we talked over the phone I don't believe we talked about 6000rpms. The camshaft Bob Madera has helped you with is not a spec. prone to reversion in your use so I would recommend a pretty good header or header manifold to get that horsepower out of a 440 inch short stroke engine. Just use long risers or collectors and keep the water into exhaust path as far down the system as possible and ideally after any radical bends to get to the side of the boat where they exit.

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

So would the Dana Manifolds with Vortex#4 risers work?

Raylar

I think the Dana's with the #4 long risers would work just fine.

Dana can also make custom risers that will incorporate the turn and dump further down. We had a set built for a Nordic with corner exhaust.
