Do a search under "Dana+exhaust", there are quite a few threads about them.

sorry i guess i should have been alitte more specific, i was talking about the new flow torque exhaust for the 496 mag/HO motor.

Jamie at lake side restorations has a video of some on a HO/ donzi. There was some dyno testing done on them and mid twenties HP was the gain when run through your stock, wet, exhaust.

Yes, we did do an install.. The system has a nice flow capability to it & did increase performance..

As far as install, all I can & will say is to budget some time for unkowns in & hand fitting some pieces just to be safe.. Also some riser tails do not work evidentally with Q&Q like they were originally supposed to.. Jamie / Lakeside

I just had a set installed on my baja with q&q 2. It did not fit, I had to cap off the y pipe and go thru hull.

To add - All 496 risers have been further modified to fit with all silent choice type systems. Originally we had some variables, where it would fit in some applications and not others. But for the last 10 kits that are on the road they're modified to fit all of them.

Are you guys up to capacity yet? Do you have any modified computer brackets on hand.....maybe ship it with the tubes and exchange with mine?

Installed the Dana's and had to due some fabrication to the manifolds to get the head bolts to fit properly. ECM bracket was not in the kit, but they sent it as soon as they could. The four hours of install time is an engine that is on an engine stand, not in a boat! They look great and sound even better, but little performance was gained. Just my thought's.

I have picked up more mid range with my Dana's had to go up in prop pitch max speed increase on my boat will be 2-3 mph . There are some gremelins that Jaime @ Lakeside who did the install had to work out with my exhaust also...
