Weren't the original KE's made by pfmarine. I believe that is Coolermans family. Great performing headers from what I've been told.

Paradox, good luck on your venture and keep us posted.

Thanks Chris. Yes, my father designed and built them for 10yrs, and then sold it to Keith.

The first test set we built is over 20yrs old and has a god knows how many hours on it (the set is still in use today). The ones on our boat our 12yrs old. RmpRam had a set that he ran for over 10yrs I believe. A select few did manage to melt them, but it would have helped if they would have ran water through them or rigged their boat with something other than swimming pool hose

On another note, regarding the draining of the headers, if you let them self drain or not, the water will still heat up. They only way that would work to have the water keep them cool when not self draining is to have a circulating pump.

From what I have read the 525 headers had issues because they were made to Mercs specs and merc cheaped out to keep costs down.

Without knowing what your "idea" is it's tough to comment, as there are options out there right now. But, if you have a BETTER option then it may spark interest.

Keep in mind people will be skeptical about the warranty from a new company.

Just my point-oh-two.

Yes, cool design on those cast units. I'm shocked at the KE price though
