I installed a set of Lightning headers a few months ago on my 24' Daytona with a 454 mag. I am very pleased with the increased mid range and a few extra horses up top. Install was easy and looks clean. The price was right as well. Overall I would highly recommend them for anyone looking at true headers. Make sure they send you the water feeds if you go this way.

That's a good chunk of speed... What kind of boat and power?

I have lightnings on my blown 540,first put them on blown 502,made NO difference over stock merc on top end but noticeable midrange. They have been trouble free for 4 years and if you ever have any concerns or questions john at lightning headers is very helpful,quality product for fair price! Smitty

I tried a set a few boats ago(app. 10yrs ago) I was happy with the mid-range increase in power but after about 2 years one of the pipes cracked internally and let enough water in to take out a couple of valves and a head. Also, make sure they ship the water tubes, they forgot to pack mine, had to wait an extra week to install the headers.
