I've had nothing but good experiences with Teague Custom Marine. Ask for Eric...

Diamond Performance Parts sells them cheaper than my dealer cost last time I looked. Ateco claims cheapest anywhere. Not as pretty but lose the cracking/engine problems and go with Stainless Marine.

I didn't think the Etops where prone to cracking like the sport tubes where.

With all the talk about engine troubles with the CMI Sport tube headers on this site I have never had a customer lose a engine over them. I have seen them with cracks and leaks that caused valve and cylinder rust issues. The E-tops on the other hand have cost 2 of my customers total engine failures. That is why we now push the change over to Stainless Marine exhaust. The SM Gen III's are rated for use up to 1400 HP and on a resent re-rig the cost with tails was more than $10K less than going with the CMI's.

+1 I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that on any given day my engines would be toast because of junk Cmi's, yes they look cool but when your engine is junk the cool factor goes away in hurry!!!

I have Stainless Marine Hi Torque manifolds and have had no problems at all with them, my risers are dry and dump right at the tips..
