Stainless Marine 525 exhaust
Seems to be a hot topic lately and while I don't currently have CMI headers on my boat will most likely have them on my next.With everything I have heard about them they will not be there long.There seemed to be different opinions on if you could use Stainless Marine exhaust on the 525s so I spoke with Jerry at Stainless today.Yes you can but you have to re-drill and tap the heads as they are not GM heads the bolt pattern is different.Stainless Marine has a jig to do this and they will lend it out (with a deposit) to anyone who buys there product.There are a couple of other minor modifications like moving the water tank but the also offer the bracket for that.

I assuming that this will work with the GEN III manifolds also?
Sounds like a good solution, especially if you can use the GEN III manifolds.

the benefit to stainless marine is that they last a long time and don,t leak like the cmi's.
i think i would rather loose a few pony's to stay reliable and not blow my motor up and it cost lot's of $$$ to fix

What about making a half inch adapter plate to adapt the bolt pattern?
The Big tubes we use have those to allow for bolt access, they should be available or fairly easy to make
