I don't think Fred deals with CMI anylonger but he may have some old stock. The CMI's are great but now we're really moving out of this guys budget.

Re: EMI or lightning headers?
I sold my EMI's and installed Lightnings. The EMI is much better than stock, however I think anything the EMI's can do the Lightnings can do better because it is a true header. The fit and finish are excellent. If you get the black powder coated Lightnings and compare them in price to the stainless riser EMI you should be close in overall cost. However with the Lightnings you may have to rearrange a few accessories, although the power steering pump is a pain with the EMI's.
Good Luck |

Sorry guys I posted it wrong the first time! I have a 23 outlaw with a 496 mag and im looking at buying an aftermarket exhaust. I was wondering which would be better to get the emi or lightning exhaust? Im only looking at spending around $2000.
Happy new boating year! Luke Basically the manifold and header comparison is kind of a apples and oranges comparison. Bottom line is tubular headers make more power. So if power gains are your primary consern the Lightning headers win hands down. Lightning builds an extremely high quality hand crafted header. As for bang for the buck, well Lightning wins hands down again. I would like to let you know that we have the 496 Lightning headers #310-40308 in stock and ready for immediate delivery for $1999.99. If you would like to call me in regards to specific OSO member benefits I would be glad to assist you. Thanks, Brad. |
Re: EMI or lightning headers?
I've run Lightnings on quite a few boats. They work great. I've got a set going on 4 years in fresh water. I just pulled the engine and I see no signs of rust. Of course you really can't inspect the inside.
I installed a set on a 496. It was a lot of work to get the water drains plumbed correctly, not exactly bolt on. "Rumor" has it that Raylar is doing some comprehensive dyno testing of the Dana exhaust on various 496 combos. Hopefully he'll post results. Sounds promising. |

boatheaders.com is Lightnings home web site. I bought a set of the regular magnums ( freshwater ) to run on my old Pantera & I couldn't have been more pleased with them. The quality & fit was great ( especially for the $$ ) The flanges where also nice & thick like they should be. |
