27 Fever Exhaust
Need some feedback from anyone who has tried different exhaust systems on a 27 fever with a 502 MAG MPi. I am considering the IMCO powerflows because they are easy to hook up to my stock silent choice and would like to know what kind of an performance improvement to expect. The sales people say 3-5 mph. Sounds to a bit optomistic to me. I have a vortech flame arrestor, msd. Going to get a reprogrammed ECU and adjustable fuel pressure reg. Would like to know if the exhaust mod is worth while before I get the ECU programmed for my current set up. Is there something better that will hook up to my silent choice?
Thanks
Thanks

I changed to CMI headers with their diverter valves. It was expensive but worth it to me. I probably picked up 2 mph top end but the midrange is much stronger. If you give it the gas while on plane it will put you in the seat much stronger. Another thing I got with CMI is the peace of mind of not having to worry about reversion. The CMI diverters are water jacketed so the water does not enter the exhaust stream until after the diverters. Plus they look awsome!
The only draw back to the CMI diverters is that they are air operated. I solved this problem by modifying them to accept the Corsa electric soliniods. It worked great. I didnt have to install an air pump and lines and run new wires up to the helm. The air system is prone to leaks and is somewhat slow operating. Now I just flip the switch and they open or shut immediatly with a reassuring click.
Ill have to post some pics of the system.

Please do post some pics, that sounds like the same system I would like to install. I would like to use my Corsca system also. What model CMI headers did you use? Any idea on the weight savings, the stock manafolds look very heavy.
Thanks.
