I am about to buy a set of CMI headers for my 496. I v'e read tons of good things about them ... but I think I read somewhere that someone had some 'leaking" problems? Anyone hear any bad things other than the high price? Also ... if these headers are the only "non stock" piece of equipment on my engine .. do you think they will void my warranty? Thanks, Mike
Mike,
I haven't had any problem with my CMI's leaking. I read a Mrec Service Bulletin that stated that warranty is voided for engine damage caused by any aftermarket item. I put CMI's on my HO when it was 2 months old, last August. My HO now has 65 hours on it and no issue at all. Definite performance improvment plus they look and sound much better than stock.
Merry Christmas
