Jim I have a set of the Scorpion manifolds that I'm saving for my sedan, they have that great classic look. I did not want to use the GLM manifolds that came with my Mag as the SS risers that were on them caused so much reversion they ate away the exhaust ports of my cast iron Chevy iron heads. The Crusader exhaust are heavier but still work well. I feel the extra weight in the rear should help the balance of the hull out, as my Mag only has the bow gas tanks. Here is a side by side pic of the engine bay before & now..

Hello Mark,

I was told that the guys before me took off the Scorpion Manifolds with the Canister risers because the Crusader manifolds flowed better , but then i heard the the Scorpions were better manifolds, so I searched and found a few sets of them on Long Island NY and then made up two sets of dry SS tail pipes
it sure was loud
yes the Crusader manifolds are heavy , had mine off a few times.before i got the Scorpions.
yours are looking good.
Thank you
jim

Getting closer to the finish line...

Mark, I have two TRS long cone thru hub 3 Bade Cleavers that I can't use in great shape?. I'll get a picture and the size/pitch and let you know. Bill

swept back skeg "vol -cruisers" the drive of the future good for a extra 6 mph

Sounds good Bill ,,let me know.

I will need that speed now that I'm not running these engines with the trick exhaust risers.

Mark,

Mag is looking awesome! Love the old school exhaust and drives look brand new. Keep the pictures coming, hard to beleive these boats are 40years old. Look forward to seeing it in the water.
