Default Headers for HP500 Carbs w/ silent choice?

Can anyone recommend a good set of headers for a set of slightly modified HP500 Carbs that will allow me to keep my stock silent choice? Looking at AFR heads soon, so will most likely need the additional flow. I've had several recommend the HP500 EFI headers (CMI Platinum E tops???), but wasn't sure if that was the best answer. Also a recommendation on where to buy them from and what to expect on cost would be greatly appreciated.

Juked - Thanks for the offer!! Pics would be great. I wouldn't mind using their tails as long as I can keep my silent choice OR are you saying I'd have to switch to CMI's version of silent choice?

These are an excellent price on a set of headers/manifolds, if you run the short stainless risers with the EMI's you can still use you silent choice.

With Lightnings you have to run their version of silent choice, they won't work with Mercury, IMCO, Gil, Corsa, Hardin, etc. versions of silent choice.

Slightly modified 500? I would go with simular headers (CMI downturn sports) to the 525 for the most bang for the buck.

I have a great deal on Limited Edition Sport Tubes. They'd require a CMI Internal Sound Choice System to be compatable with your Y pipe.

Give us a call if we can help.
