just curious if anyone has these on a 496HO, are they worth it, and positive or negatives with them? also if you can provide #'s that would be awesome, pictures would also be a plus. thanks

aww come on, theres gotta be someone out there, when i talked to CMI and harden marine they said they have tons of them out there and everybody loves them!!!!!!

You don't say which cmis. None the less, no matter which cmi you choose, it will not out do the eickerts. Most likely will be much less. Particulary if an e-top or similar pipe. I run KEs on twin 470cids engines and like them. The KEs would be a nice fit for the 496cid.

KE's on a 540

And still as ugly as stock...

Big Yellow Cat runs 2000+hp on them with turbos. We put some power through them as well.

And CMI's look good with the aftermarket welding, that you know is coming.

When you say Kieth Eickert headers, do you actually mean the Hardin stainless set they sell? 496HO Typhoon headers?
