Re: CMI Headers

Isn't frustrating to finally be able to afford nice boats with good looking stainless steel headers only to find out they provide your biggest headaches!!!!! HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SET OF CMI HEADERS THAT DID NOT LEAK!!!!?????

If we can be of any assistance, please call us (847)623-2737

Re: CMI Headers

CMI has both my sets now to see why they are leaking with only 70 hours on them. I should have an answer within the next few days.

Really? Mine are 8 years old and look and perform as new with no repairs ever.

But, they aren't on the shelf. They're on motors.

Re: CMI Headers

Is this true? You wont get 100 hrs. out of headers? Is it always the welds that fail? I would be afraid of them too at
3-5K a side. I`m staying stock on my stock Mags.

Too Old I tought you never had a boat more then 8 months muchless 8 years?
