So it looks like I am going to have to replace one or both of my headers since one of them is rusted really bad. What you guys think about the stainless jet boat headers i keep seeing on ebay and the FB Jet Boat groups? It looks like they're sold individually and average average around mid $300. Anyone have any recommendations?
-
It would be nice to have stainless headers but funds are low so I may just buy a replacement header which is $587.5 ($472.50 plus $40 for shipping and $75 for a baffle). :banghead: So I am looking at about $640 after tax.

They are a great budget header. I tested them for DNA motoring, and am still running them.

Are you kidding me? I thought it was $329 per side, so $329 is for both headers? WTF...
-
Well I made the purchase for $329 I couldn't pass it up. BTW they don't have blower headers.

Ok just got home and shiny new headers purchased on ebay but the box is labeled DNA motoring welds are ok no weep holes you'll have to drill if running them wet I'm going to plug mine for now overall I'm happy with the price versus quality
-
Are the weep holes threaded?
-
Weep holes are small holes just below the water lines on the lowest part of the pipe to allow excess water to drain out before entering the exhaust port of the head
-
I hear ya. I thought you were talking about the bungs for the water injection. I understand now. Thanks
-
I wonder if they are going to make a up swept header? That would be sweet!

The talked to their customer service already and they said they're going to have someone call me back. One of the problems is they don't use bubble wrap. I have never seen a header manifacture not wrap their Headers in bubble wrap before they ship them.

I already have Rewarder lines there. But I haven't checked it out to see if they all will line up.

Hey, I think I'm going to order some of the headers but I'm curious what/how I should run them, with or without water, if I run without how is the best route to run the water lines to the motor and how to get it to exit the motor.
I'm ok with running them dry but going from a log set up what/how will the water line routing go.

Boat came with a b/c and ran ok with it, having Chris build a A/b for it as we speak, Rpms were bouncing off rev limiter at 6500 at or around 90mph. So boat might have some left in it. I ran an ab in the blue boat and ran 104 at 6250 rpm.

Gonna need a drill, torch, and hammer... then the headers will kinda fit.
Also... gonna need a set of 4" exhaust tips... most log style use 3" tips.
