Can we please get back to the options thank you.

g,
I know I will be in the same boat here 1 of these days are you are now, and I think I'm going to mod my heads on my 600 SCi's to accept the KE headers I have sitting in my garage. I just have a real hard time sending good money after bad, (Replacing CMI's with CMI's) The SM mod likes the next best deal to me.....

Well I have put almost 7 years and a lot of hours on this boat and can't complain about performance or looks in the engine compartment.

I believe the quality of the product is there and also the closer to stock I leave the boat the more its worth on the open market. Hell if I want to bit** about it why don't 700sci last loner than 300 hours without freshing up thats every bit $5000 a motor if you get it done rite.

that's my thinking may not be everyone else's.

Think I am going to stay with CMI for those main reasons.

Think they're new style. Off of a 2011 700


Correct Gary, If they have the gap between the flange and the tubes versus tubes connected directly to the flange, that is the newer style. I only know this bacause I bought the new style for my boat.

Thx TC

With CMI's, its just a matter of time before they fail. I would equate it to holding a grenade with the pin out. I have run a set of Stainless Marine, Genlll, since 1998 with a supercharged single engine in a Sutphen. Walter Collins,TKO Sutphen, ran 10 years with Stainless Genlll's. Pete Nopper, Nopper Marine , Has 10 years on his 26 Sutphen race/pleasure boat. They are fairly light and make working on the engine easy .
