1998 454 MPI exhaust
 
I have stock exhaust with a silent choice set up. I would like to up grade, my question is I would like to keep my silent choice, that must limit my options, do they make a header or manifold that would work?

thanx

all the after market offer a silent choice riser,eddie marine,imco,stainless marine just to name a few offer a performance style manifold and silent choice riser..

Not Stellings! :drink:

Mrfixxal is right, they just about all make systems that would work. Keep in mind though, if you have the 310HP MPI, there isnt much to gain by switching to a header or performance manifold.

Best bang for the buck is finding a pair of used take off 496 ALUMINUM manifolds. They switched back to iron manifolds, but there were a few years (02-05??) that they used aluminum manifolds with a dry joint riser. These flow pretty good, and would be a great upgrade over your wet joint manifolds. Flow better, less weight, work with silent choice, no leaky wet joints to smoke your motor, and usually you can find 4 manifolds and elbows for 1/4 of what one set of new CMI would cost....

I have a Magnum, 385hp, Corsa SC,and I want to buy used for sure. Is there a specific part # or name of the riser that would fit? I have a single engine so I only need a pair. What would be a price range for a used pair? What type of HP gain would I expect with the swap?

Something like this for the risers?

And this for the exhaust?

thanx again!

You might gain 15hp and maybe 1mph.

Niice! I was hoping for double that!

thanx again!

thease from eddie marine woud be the silent choice style,i like theirs because the riser has a longer inner tube which hepls stop reversion..most others are the same legnth inner and outter..
