Save your money. I spent alittle over 6k a few years ago on CMI E-Top headers for another boat that I had. I had to have custom tails made and the tails were expensive. I only went 2 mph faster with the CMI's on there. I can not relate how pissed off I was. I pulled the CMI's off and put a set of Eddie Marine manifolds with the long risers on and still went 2 mph faster than I did with the Mercruiser manifolds. Never again will I spend the money to buy CMI headers. If you want bling...spend the 3k+ for the headers, but if you want performance...get the EMI manifolds and the long tails. You will get performance from both, but you can get the EMI's for less than 2k.

Red!!!! my buddy's talon did gain 2mph maybe!! after spending a ton on the cmi's.Took off sold the cmi's put his gils back on,put about 2 grand back in his pocket.Took some tails and modified them a little making like a stepped collector and gained 3 mph.So in my opinion and what I have seen Unless you got the big tube straight back headers on big motors were gil's cant't be used I wouldn't waste my money. My 2 cents JOHN SR
