According to the labels, 137lbs for everything. The boxes they were shipped in are super heavy duty too. They're probaly right around 130. Dont' know what the logs and risers weigh in at, but they're not exactly light either.

Here is an LSx turbo build for you to follow.  I didn't read the entire thread but judging by the alternator setup he made on the last page it is going to be a killer build when done.

OK, got em on a scale. 61lbs for one manifold with riser. 30lbs for on log with snail. I put 62 lbs back on the boat with this exhausts. Still 240 ahead over the stock 460.

That is really heavy , but I guess logs and snails are too . But you are right , overall you are still saving weight compared to a big block . I am not sure how much mine are going to weigh yet , but hopefully about the same as any other logs would .

Exhaust manifolds should be here on the 26th  jump.gif

Hopefully they are going to be a good fit for what I am trying to do with the pipes  think.gif

Looking at the way the threaded ends are on the exhaust I wonder if I can make a plate that will bolt to the three bolts on the end of the exhaust adapter that will allow me to bolt the OT pipes onto it . That would leave me really close to a 3" flow , instead of the 2.5" with threading pipe into the adapter .

Not sure , I am talking to Mike about it . One of the two of us probably wants it , but not 100% sure . I will give you a call in a little bit about it .

Here is a pic of the adapter that goes on the end of the log , I am hoping I can maybe do something with the three bolt holes insead of using the threaded pipe .

Gonna have to machine that square thing out of the way too. Dude, that sure looks like iron. What are you going to do for risers on those? Or are you going to adapt OT pipes on the end of them?

Not sure if it is iron or aluminum , web site dont say . Probably is iron . I am planning to adapt a set of OT pipes that I have to fit them . Even with them being iron it should be alot lighter than the full riser setup . If I decide later to go through transom I will adapt them to use regular aluminum snails .

From the looks of that peice, you could hook up with a plumber, and they could thread you a piece of galvanized into that and run your pipes. Should hold up to the San Jac water for quite awhile. :grin:
