in a free courty every one says what he wants, but the decision is simple . or you buy these XS headers for $1470 shipped worldwide or you pay $3500-$5000 for a set of branded headers .
also you can buy a secound hand USED branded headers for $2000 if you want. i personaly decided to try the XS headers for $1470 shipped there was NO comparison in price.

These chuckle heads obviously do not realize the potential market for these. Their advertising sucks and the spamming wrecks credability. These guys seem clueless when it comes to running a business.

As for the cheap "buy in" price........
Well, how does the old saying go?

"You can pay me now or you can pay me later". Later will be exponentially more expensive!

thats why stainless marine exhaust is so nice,,it eliminates problems and it doesn't rob you of power.

Let's see pay $5000.00 a motor for cmi big tube or e tops $3000 a motor. They will crack in 3 years and you will have to pay to replace them again or by xs power for 1/2 the price? And personally i think the welds would make them a little more more forgiving with less chance of cracking. Fixing i am sure would be half the price. Of the inner pipe is more than likely one piece and the only difference is the outer pipe. Don't get me wrong cmi is a great product but way over priced because they are the only ones who made a water jacketed header.

And you know the CMI will crack in 3 years? Because I know of many CMI 10 year plus with no issues.

The company is already known to have issues with car headers, and now you are going to trust your engines to his water cooled design? My engines are worth more to me then a gamble to save a few bucks.

If you can't afford a big name, well built, proven marine header then choose some of the after market manifold and cast aluminum header designs to save money.

While I do agree that its tough to argue how much engines are worth someone does need to step up and give CMI a run for the money and make the price go down.
