If you can send them back do it. Then get some Stainless Marines with the long risers. I just put them on my boat. Standard Bravo cut outs. Fit perfect I got mine from Too Old but he can't get Stainless Marines anymore. So CP performance is the cheapest at 1799 for the set.

Stainless Marine is the way to go for Aluminum Manifolds. Best there is !

I've had good luck over the years with Eddie but sometimes things just don't work out. In this case you're getting a better product by far so be glad to make the change.

Go stainless marine, they saved my A$$ on not having to move my transom holes for a larger engine and heads. They custom built me tips that angled inside the boat. They did it over the phone with my measurements and it worked!

Great people! If Fred can get it go with him!

Stainless marine is the way to go, great company with outstanding customer service. Now with the sales representation of Too Old, how can you lose?

I stopped doing buisness with eddie marine 9yrs.ago. After the 15% restocking fee they charged me. For the wrong part.There's alot of suppliers out there who are willing to help.

There are a couple of sets for sale in the parts swap forum. Maybe they will fit.

I've had good luck with Eddie Marine and the service offered by "Mr. Old" is just unsurpassed. Anything I need Too Old will always be the first call.

Fred, how's the price on a gallon of gas?

Waiting for my tee shirts too, would make me feel better.........lol

Maybe next Tuesday this ordeal will finally be over....
