That's right your not a designer nor have you ever designed anything for resale to the public. Let along designed a propulsion system to break any kind of land speed record. (Yes that's a fack I have)

You really should look at the graphs a little closer and actually read the scale on them and then you well see that over the useable rpm range say idle to 4.5K there is a 5 hp gain and that really isn't until your at 4000-4500 rpm and is only 2-3 over the rest of that RPM range, which is pretty much where the engine is used most for cruising or skiing IMHO.

from 4.5-5.5K there is a gain of about 10 hp but then starts to fall off after that. Not really overly impressive to me, if your running above 4500 rpm most of the time then ya they would help out but who really runs their boat at that speed for more than a couple of minutes. Most are lucky to see 4500 rpm IMHO.

equal runners????
no there not they make no such claim and you can look and see there not, #1 and #4 are and #2 and #3 are but there not equal from #1-2or3. JMO from a trained eye's point of view, from sitting at a CAD station doing design work for twenty years.

My logs do have equall length runners for every cyclinder and if you really think the ports on the logs are straight you need to think again because they are not.

So the polish will look nice and you will see some weight and
perfomance gains from the Hi-teks but to clain they are superior to all log style exhaust no their not JMO.

If you want to send $1387 for powder coated or $1687 for polished shiped to gain two usuable HP that's fine with me they will look nice for a while. But you can't buy or find what I have and for 400 bucks, 150 for elbows and another 100 for the machining looks like a 50% savings to me JMO. Guess you forgot I looked at the hi-tek's long before I bought what I did or before you became a dealer for them, wait your not their dealer yet forgot about sorry hopefully it works out and you can sell more than the first four and keep that dealership going with them. JMHO.

That would be interesting

again you have the facts wrong keep saying I stiff the guy because that never happened, keep telling yourself it did I don't care. It's like I said before and you have been told by others on this site I'm not doing the basing and putting you or your parts choice down YOU ARE CLOWN NOT ME.

   Are you guys done? C'mon already. Doc,looks like 79's been pretty mellow lately(with the exception of a few of his last posts here)but it looks to me like he was trying to answer the guys question legitimately.In his defense he didn't get heated up till you got on him about it.I think if the two of you meatheads got along you could pool your knowledge together and build one hell of a boat motor(but I'd still have Eric do the trans .)
   You both have great information,but I see no purpose in u bashing the components he decides to use in his boat,apparently it runs very well with the Edelbrock stuff.
   I can do without the lard ass,double chin comments,too.That's just rude.

Ryan, I raised the truce flag to this guy, but he chose to keep flaming ,when the subject or the thread was not even to him.
The post on the manifolds was not to, or about him,did not ask his opinion,nor did it ask his advice,but MR.Double Chin had to put in his .02 worth, he was over paid BTW.
All i ask to Chris is stay out of my bussiness and those on this site that want a good exhaust system that will improve performance and look good also,He chooses to run that Edelbrock stuff , which i understand is cute but does very litle for the breathing of the Hi-Per motor he is running.Some of us are willing to spend the money to complete or add to the looks and performance of these fine boats..........boat dr
Chris why can't you just go away. i know i am tired of your for letter words and your spoiled brat attitude,maybe i am not alone...........maybe i am.......

79, I am sure you can buy them cheaper than that,as you stated before I just pawn off cheap junk.
Why are you even posting on this thread, you just gotta try to keep the poop stirred.Don't mess the deal up for the rest of us that want a set of high quality performance exhaust for their boat.
Again this was for the rest of the C/C Fans that wanted in on the group buy, just for your info you were not included 79...............

quinner, are you huffing the glue too???????
Is that spelled in Ebonic,if so we don't speak that here.......boat dr

79, I don't think that post was to you,and have asked him to call for the correct price.
That is unless you want to take over the payment and shipping details.......If that be the case ,I will gladly give you the helm ........boat dr
The price you quoted Lake Horse was incorrect.

i think its like 1392.00 or there abouts maybe 1362.00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting ready to finalize the orders for a group buy,Allen has cut us a major discount on both purchase ans shipping,
