I installed a set of Lightning headers a few months ago on my 24' Daytona with a 454 mag. I am very pleased with the increased mid range and a few extra horses up top. Install was easy and looks clean. The price was right as well. Overall I would highly recommend them for anyone looking at true headers. Make sure they send you the water feeds if you go this way.

I have lightnings on my blown 540,first put them on blown 502,made NO difference over stock merc on top end but noticeable midrange. They have been trouble free for 4 years and if you ever have any concerns or questions john at lightning headers is very helpful,quality product for fair price! Smitty

I'd buy them again. No problems and they fit fine. Mine were reduced water and were quite loud.

I tried a set a few boats ago(app. 10yrs ago) I was happy with the mid-range increase in power but after about 2 years one of the pipes cracked internally and let enough water in to take out a couple of valves and a head. Also, make sure they ship the water tubes, they forgot to pack mine, had to wait an extra week to install the headers.

I replaced my stainless marines w/ lightning's. The sound quality was a lot better, and it seemed to improve mid and high rpm. Plus side they are more aggressive looking.
