Great product! I thought putting the plugs in on cylinders 3 &5 kind of sucked w/o a swivel for the ratchet and cracked the porcelin on the plugs the first time but that's my only complaint...which is trivial. They have big runners (mine are 2 1/4" where they meet the head) and they are considerably lighter than the cast iron stockers!

Awesome, they are designed to leak water into the bilge and not in your motor if they ever do rott out in salt. The outside of manifold is made 3 times thiner than runners, so that they rott out there first. Good info on the web site.

I have them on my twin 502's, I just had semi dry risers made nd should be at my door tonight!!

They are good at channeling the exhaust gases from the enigne out to the back of the boat

Run them on my Whippled SBC and like them, very easy to take on and off to perform routine maintance, like Smitty said, not the prettiest thing out but they work and work well for far less than CMI's, if cost is no option and you have to have bling go CMI, if you are on a budget and you want a good performer and not worried about the bling go stainless marine my .02
