Using Marine exhaust on an Engine dyno?
I have a set of the KE long cast aluminum headers. I am in the process of building a 555. I want to know if it will be ok to run them on an engine dyno without water running through them? My concern is that the aluminum will get too hot and possibly warp or be damaged. I know I can probably just rig something to dispose of the water but is it necessary.

Tune it whit the KE headers and make sure that you cool them !
Water cooled headers flow different then normal headers due to the cooler exhaust temps .
And if you want to know if the do a good job look for a pair stellings and compare them you will be very happy whit the KE !!
We had stellings on a blown 509 and swapped to KE

Interestingly enough we planned to do a bunch of runs too, turns out the Holley was damn close right out of the box, we dropped one secondary size and that was it (could have gone two but everything I did was fairly conservative) We saw 20 something horsepower difference between the dyno headers and the SM manifolds, I'd need to look up the exact difference...
