p-1000
Thanks Brad! When did they stop making the Hardin P-1000? Are there alot out there? My tailpipes are dry and measure 3.5 inches outside. Did the original P-1000 ever get to a 4 or 4.5 inch? I'll be giving you a call. Thanks again.

Mine were 4's and I loved them BUT -- watch out for leaks in the manifolds that let h2o into the cylinder. I blew 2 motors that way. Mechanic didn't bother to figure out why the 1st one locked up. Put it on the hose before you put them on. They haven't been made for a while and alumimum WILL break down. Salt h2o is even worse.

I have been told that Hardin stopped making the P-1000's sometime in 80's. I am sure there are tons of them out there or at least there were a lot out there. They never did make a 4" or 4.5" version but I'm sure some people out there had theirs flared out to 4" or 4.5". Let me know if you have any other questions and be sure to get one of our new 2007-2008 catalogs when you order your gaskets, there is plenty of stuff in the catalog that I think you would like.
Thanks again,
Brad

We installed the P-1000's on one of my buddy's boat back in the mid 1980's. I have seen a larger 4" tailpipe that a guy had custom made for the P-1000's he had, but they normaly came stock with a 3.5" tailpipe. They give/make about the same kind of power results as a GIL system and in 1985 I was even told they made a couple more HP over the GIL's on the dyno by an engine builder down in Florida.
I remember they used to come stock on the HAWK 511cid engines back in the early/mid 1980's and saw these engines in a brand new 38' Cigarette called "BREAKOUT" in Saugatuck, Michigan. Back then, super chargers we'ren't quite on the marine scene yet and 511 cubic inches were considered as monster motors.
