If thats the case, it's a another bonus for the cmi system.
Fred, any input on the warranty coverage?

There's a huge difference between casting an aluminum manifold and riser and building a true stainless steel tubular header. If money is an issue you've made a fine compromise.
One fact says it all: Over the last six years, Custom Marine headers, tailpipes and exhaust systems have been on more National and World Championship boats than all other brands combined. The reason is simple: When it comes to quality, performance and striking good looks, no one can touch CMI. No one even comes close!

Lots of exciting news. I never got around to pulling the turbolators off last season but will make the time this spring. I don't really care about the speed gains (well ok, I do) and will be quite excited if it only makes it louder.... The other beauty is not a single penny spent.

The only "similar" header that I'm familiar with is the CMI Sport Tube.
Last time I checked the catalog it had a retail price of $4700 in a Bravo configuration.
