theres a loaded question!.......I will say a Fountain is almost impossible to beat in performance vs price and they dont make Scarabs anymore.....
I will also say that a twin 29 Scarab is my nemisis at the lake.......I finally saw one out one time although we were both badly loaded down with people and gear.....like 5 and 6 people each!.......he steadily inched away.......talked to him later he had the 300hp FI motors and I have the 270hp carb motors with a zillion hrs....its all good
noticably picked up some low end with the Rev exhaust and about another 500rpm on top,(the Scarab race was pre Rev ) Im real happy with them, Id buy them again in a heartbeat.
where are you guys from?

We are from Utah! Thanks for your insight on the Fountain. My wife is happy....Maybe I should save my money for a Fountain instead of putting it towards an exhaust system.

Theres nothing wrong with a 29 Scarab at all......but then again you gotta keep the wife happy!:drink:

A very decent priced header for a standard Bravo configuration is the Unitop Header by CMI. This true header is an Elbow Top Header with a welded tail piece and they perform and look like an Elbow Top header.

We just sold a set the other day and it was the first time I personally had seen them. They are much closer in price to a manifold that other headers in the CMI line.

So if you have a standard Bravo configuration, consider the Unitop Header. Great looks, performance and price for a true header!

No doubt! They would be my next choice of exhaust system!

They hold up to the constant heat cycles and vibration much better than headers IMHO....
