Heard from Jason. My old CMI headers will not accept tail pipes and CMI cannot modify for tail pipes. He is suggesting a CMI E top system or a IMCO Power Flow with long riser pipe. Both will solve the reversion issue he is seeing. The CMIs are definitely prettier. I also worry about if the IMCOs will make it more difficult when changing spark plugs, I am not too limber, at my age.
Any thoughts or pros and cons are welcome.

Hi Padraig. Using long risers and or tail pipes - it sounds like you'll be going dry exhaust? If that's the case, you may want to research/consider muffler availability for your options in case you need them! Seasons greetings and best of luck for 2025!

Not dry.
He had E Tops without tails. The water dumps very close to the riser. E Tops with tails the water dumps quite a bit further away, more similar to a dry to the tip application. Same with IMCO Powerflow.

Just a quick update. Jason has all the parts ordered and does not see any delivery problems. Decided to go with CMI E tops and tails. They are prettier and I think easier to work around to change plugs etc. I don't know what they are worth but may put the old CMI e tops up for sale. They use the flexible connector instead of tails but are good for stock engines.
Rookie Don't know what Holly intake but will find out.

Not that I have seen, but the lower design has been proven as an improvement on all other platforms.
