I know you asked between SM, and EMI- but Ive had great luck with Imco powerflow and powerflow +'s You'll find if compare that the inner runners of the powerflow plus's with the stainless units the imcos are actually longer than the SM's. Not cheap but good. Uncle Dave |
Did mine last season and went with Stainless Marine purchased thru Speed and Custom Marine. Good product and good people to deal with. Also, I personally like the SSM v-band connection at the riser better than the 4 bolt flange on the EMI and others.

The Keith Eickerts are awesome but pricey..

Stainless Marine-great design & quality product. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
|
I would get Stainless Marine or Gils.
Has anyone ever done a performance comparison of the two? I know stainless last longer in salt water, but I only boat in fresh water. Gils seem like they have bigger ports, but I could be wrong. |
SM gen 3s are bigger than gils, the gen 2s might be a little bigger too. but the 3s are great.

All of the brands listed in this thread so far are good. It just depends on what you need & want to spend.. :) Jamie / Lakeside

This is always a topic that is highly driven by the particular board its asked on.
The East coast guys seem to like - Stainless, Eickert, and gill. The West Coast guys gravitate toward- Imco at the high end and EMI for value - with Eickerts stuff in between. Teague and Boostpower use Imco when they use manifolds vs headers. Uncle Dave |

I used Gil's for 10 + yrs in salt .. I flushed them everytime and never had any issues.. they are probably the loudest out of them all.. Down side is they are very difficult to get to the spark plugs...
