Just my opinion but, tubular headers are something I plan on buying brand new. Last thing you want to introduce into your power I a set of worn and cracked headers.

Just my opinion .Sometimes a deal on good low hour headers comes along , so you buy them.

Yeah, offshore engines don't cost much.

I had some reversion, especially with the mufflers closed, plus my 02`s were dying a quick death.
I was just going to do a single nipple out the back until Mild Blunder mentioned running most of the water overboard and just small nipple to keep the mufflers from getting too hot.
Much better idea and will keep the 02`s dry


The bung is in the bilge

Stellings would be my only choice. buy therm once and never look back...it is probably the best investment you can make on a performance engine. Remember loud pipes save lives.

buy a set of used stellings or cmi sport tubes and never look back. if your worried about leaks, have them pressure tested. it's hard to justify 7-10k on a new set of exhaust for most people, in fact, it may be worth more than some peoples boats lol. the dumps are at the very end of the pipe and will mix just fine with mufflers if you decide to go with the. i would just leave them off
