Marine Headers.....Come-on-man !!
 
Hardin or CMI , will some one please justify the price to me other than you have em and i need em . I've seen complete stout marine engines on here for less . I don't want to come off like a cheepskate but come-on- man . Surely you would sell more if you charged less . :poopoo:

if you must have tube style headers, i'd go with either lightning or dana, much less and very similar performance

I have a nice set of CMI's that I would sell you for less than half of what new ones cost. I just took them off my 525's and there is hardly any rust on them! I'll take $1,000! I also have some slightly used 525's for sale, only 72.3 hours, but they need a little work. Let me know.

Stay away from all tubed headers look at stainless marine. Much better choice

Are these CMI sport tubes ? Fresh water ? I don't understand the rust . Good stainless don't rust . These are the problem childs aren't they . Thanks

SM, IMCO, or KE's! KE's are not cheap though.... BUT you can sleep easy at night knowing your header won't leak, and toast your motor(s) :)

loved my SMgen 2s long tube still have them for my 509 motor, went with hurricane headers by hardin marine, bought them after a dyno run. so I spent about 5 grand total. with 5'' tails for my 572 blower motor. Iwas going to buy the gen 3, 5'' from SM for 3400. but heard no bad complains on hardin. happy so far after 5 hours.:cartman: Art, ps good luck Paradox
