the boat is a 1988 28'scarab excel with a stock 454 magnum (365hp). When i installed them I took off the inline silencers also. That may have helped also.

My best friends' kids will not ride in my boat because they say it is to loud. The neighbors at the lake don't like my early morning passes :rolleyes:

I have had a set for about 8 years now and zero problems.

I have them on my boat and havn't had any problems. They were custom built for my application and there were some problems with misplaced fittings. I also felt that the welding was a bit rough. A set of CMI's they are definetly not, but then again, they cost a fraction of CMI's.

Hey guys,
I've got them on my own boat. 454's in a Fountain. I use the stainless, I wouldn't even think of using the standard ones. I've run them for 2 years with no problems. I tore my motors down this winter and had Jan at Lightning check the headers out. No charge and they came back with a clean bill of health. Can't say enough good things about them. They look, sound and perform great!

They can be powdercoated almost any color you want or can be polished. They come standard in gloss black and look sweet!

If you guys need them pm me, call or email. I'll match anyone else's prices. And if you don't like them when you get them I'll take them back, no questions!

Hey Jonas,
How'd that TRS lower I sent you work out? The frieght cost to Sweden was a bit much so I hope it was usable...

If not I'll send you another, on me no frieght. Anything else you need too. And next time I call you I hope you're not in the middle of a night club again! :D
