I've been told a few times that most of the issues were in '05 and '06. And sometime around '08 the headers were redesigned to solve the issue but some guys still had problems.

I'm not risking it! I ordered the Hurricane Lite's. Which by the way are not and never have been made by lightning nor in the same factory. I asked Hardin.

To be honest I do not know if the same issues pertain to the 600sci's. Best to research a bit further.

Thanks for the ray of hope, but, I believe, the SAME headers are used on the 525, 600SCi's, and the 700SCi's........

I just called lightning and asked to speak to someone about hurricane headers. The guy says "ahhh ummm ok what kind of questions do you have?" I said "well you do make hurricane headers right?" he says "ahhh ummm well you are going to have to call Hardin or cp" I said "so you don't make them" and CLICK he hangs up So what's the big secret?
