Dana Exhaust?

[disco_charger]

Anybody have any feedback on these yet? I'm interested in going to this on the next boat. I was looking at Lightenings, but these are waaaaaay cheaper, and they make about the same claims....

Disco,
Asside from construction techniques and materials which are obviously different, the main thing I would look at would be the length and diameter of the primary tubes. The longer (within reason) the better. I looked at the Dana units out of curiosity a while back and I would speculate that the primaries are considerably shorter, and there isn't a true collector like on the lightnings. I'm sure they would be a great improvement over logs, just not sure how they would stack up against a true header. Also in looking at their page again, I think the price may be for one manifold, and it doesn't include the riser so you might want to call to verify the pricing for a set with risers.
Good luck today and I'll talk to you later,
Chris

Nah, that price is each. They told me with the aluminum risers, it's $1600, with s/s risers it's $2100. XTRM22 just picked a set of IMCO's up new for about 1600 bucks, I think.

2100! You can have custom fitted Lightnings for that! Who the hell only puts on manifold on their boat? I understand if you fry one, but with a new product, wouldn't the majority of your sales be in pairs?

I talked to them a few months ago, I got a real nice guy that sounded excited about the product. He said that they have several different size IDs of the manifold offerd depending on the size and Hp range of your motor. IMO, I think they are a nice looking set of manafolds, But I dont remember them being any cheaper than any others out there.

Craig Is that $1600 each or for the set?

[Craig]

For the set.

Craig With tax it was actually 1800.00 (polished with SS risers) but that was a ripping deal. I even get first pick of the next batch of t-shirts! but at least it makes my "Evil Toy Maker" sticker legit.
