Matt,

Any reason why you brought standard manifolds and elbows?

I would have thought a nice set of 2005 Gil/Hardin manifolds would have been in that suitcase.

 

[Matt]

Yeh. They're not standard, they're aluminium jobbies which as you know saves about 90lbs per engine. They're claimed to flow better than stock, but I seriously doubt it'll be noticeable, the bottleneck on our 7.4's isn't the exhaust. If I wanted to spend an extra 900 bucks plus (ie roughly how much extra the cheapest ali performance exhaust+necessary brackets from revolution marine costs), I think I would spend it elsewhere.

 

[Jon]

Nice weight saving.

Anything wrong with your manifolds?

 

[Matt]

I have 1 set of risers & manifolds from sierra that are one season old, and since I flush the motors every time,and dry berth, they are in excellent nick. I also have 2 pairs of what I'm told are the merc cast stainless risers, but need to check.
The other pair of manifolds are a bit older and whilst not leaking, they are the reason for the shiny new ones.
It'll all be for sale at some point soon but I haven't thought about the price yet.
