EMI or lightning headers?
Sorry guys I posted it wrong the first time! I have a 23 outlaw with a 496 mag and im looking at buying an aftermarket exhaust. I was wondering which would be better to get the emi or lightning exhaust? Im only looking at spending around $2000.
Happy new boating year!

Re: EMI or lightning headers?
A friend of mine has Lightning headers and they are really nice, both from a performance standpoint as well as being good-looking, and well constructed. Stainless inners and outers. Another friend has EMI Thunders with stainless risers and they are also high-quality. It's probably going to come down to which you can get the best deal on.

I don't think that you are going to find the stainless lightning headers for 2k. If you are using them in salt water, the stainless is a must. Of all the cast setups in the 2k range, I really like the Danas. Including the stainless risers, they are about 1800. I was about to buy a set myself until I stumbled into a good deal on a set of CMI's.

Lightnings are great headers for the $ but like oldandtired said you wont find them for $2k.
We list them at $3100 but if you give me a call I can set you up with a better deal than that.

pol98xc6, those are NOT stainless headers and will only last 3-4 years IF you drain them after every use and NEVER run in salt or brackish water.

If your looking for cost effective exhaust we have RMI's for $849.

I run the lightning headers on my 496 and I bought them and pressure tested them before my install and have had them for 2 years with no problems. I have 5" tips on my boat so I cut the reducers off the end and use a 5" hose to connect to the tips. Btw all Lightning headers are stainless steel on the inside .
