Man . . . Those look like a high school shop project :D

Wooo hoo 15 years.. lol.. I guess i have to extend my Warrantee. ( or is it warranty? :eek: )

KE's = Peace of Mind....!

8 seasons & never an issue.....!

Thats what I was thinking when I read paradox first post....
No bling, no frills, heavy, reliable = ke cast manifold / headers


10 yr warranty......how could anybody say no to that? Does this include salt apps?
no hoops to jump thru? Heres my old ones, send me new ones!! if so that'd be worth it to me

Agreed, they are the best/toughest header out there. I have heard good things about IMCO Powerflow + also.

Salt will not matter, read above, he plans to cool with air ?

The KE are mentioned a lot in this thread, so I hit the link given earlier in this discussion....the headers are gone :angry-smiley-038:

diamond marine is still selling them, although, it might be an old add.

Personally, i've always wondered why the exhaust is water cooled at all. Materials are around that can keep the heat in check and are used all the time. Turbines use them, motorcycle mufflers, etc. Why use a water jacket at all when you can use a dry header. I imagine a cmi, or other stainless header with a heat barrier as the water jacket with composite cover for the hot spots like at the head or joints. Has something like this been tried? The through hull could even be made to act as a water dump to cool the exhaust and pipe as it exits the boat while capping it from going upstream. Am I off my rocker in looney land?

You could also coat them....most heat coatings now are pretty amazing...
