Custom exhaust tails
How much should a custom set of header tails run? I have an 500efi and planning on running CMI sport tubes. |
Depends on length and angles.........bravo boat ?

Bravo boat with an s bend. I want to replace my current setup to dress it up a bit. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...0f04e9fb5.jpeg Gonna replace this setup |
Likely 2-3k through CMI. Install the headers and then mock up the tails with PVC |
I might mock them up like you suggested with pvc and fab them myself. Thanks! |
wow, those are low, where r u located
|
The boats in Lake Havasu. |
Class6, Danny on here does custom tails, give him a call if you like.....845.629.1175

Nice. I’d Like to make it to the Ozarks some day for the shoot out. |
You have Stainless Marine with nice risers.... DON'T TOUCH IT !!!!!
Performance wise you have good exhaust... Dependability wise you have good exhaust, A little extra bling is not worth header headaches. Do a search on here for cmi/header cracks/leaks...... You want bling?? for what you would spend on headers which are going to net you zero performance wise, you could stick a say, 250 blower on it and actually gain some performance |
Thanks for the feedback. In other words save the money. |

Save yourself the headaches and keep the SM . You really won't see any gain in speed to justify . I assume you have a platform on the back as to why they are fabed like that. The cost of tubes you should be able to bling out the bilge . Wait until holidays and Teauge has great sale on the pieces they manufacture, Scored my 3 trim tanks last year and 25% off went along way to buy other pieces.

X3...keep the SM. we took our CMI off for improved reliability of SM. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...60d24b20c.jpeg |
Thanks for all the great feedback. This is such a great forum. I would like to find a complete 500/525 accessory drive set up to covert my v belt to serpentine like your 500’s. The Volvo 500 sea pump is all the way at the bottom on the crank which makes it hard to add a supercharger. |
https://www.crowleymarine.com/mercur...cfm?mdl=TVT6XQ . You will need to get a 807767t idler bracket as the one listed in the link is nla. Don't think you will find a used 500/525 pulley system complete.
