Boat is now 10 years old and has been used in saltwater since new,thinking about stainless steel manifolds from a place called Hitek Marine out of Australia, the manifolds they make look really nice and have a 5 year warranty but they are not cheap $2300.00 Canadain. Any one heard anything about these manifolds?? Also where do you get factory replacement Indmar manilfolds from? all I can find online are Barr or Osco manifolds. I think the factory PCM or Indmar Manifolds are alot better quality than after market replacements. I got 15 years out of a PCM pair that were used in the ocean for half that time. So 2300 for stainless is a hard pill to swallow, Google Hitek Marine and have a look they look awesome**

No I really do not want to spend that much, I did check Ski Nautique forum pages and it looks like 6 or 7 members got a group discount
on these manifolds thru the boatdoctor and they paid around 1300 dollars a set,which is a good price*I knew about website for marineexhuast.com
but I want factorty Indmar or PCM manifolds. The Indmar ones they show are Osco replacements, The PCM ones look like factory OEM PCM manifolds
I sent them a email asking them to confirm this. PCM and Indmar manifolds look exactly the same shape and design.

Just heard back from Marineexhaustmanifolds.com and they have confirmed that all their parts for Indmar and PCM are OEM Parts from factory
I paid 750 for a PCM manifold and riser 20 years ago up here in Canada. So $380 per side complete from these guys is a great deal. Like I said
after 10 years in the ocean why not replace them before one fails and lets water into your engine**

I ordered new manifolds and risers from marineexhaustmanifolds.com for 219.00 for the manifold and 119.00 for the riser, this was 20.00 dollars off online price for manifold and 10.00 off online price for riser.I just checked your website they sell manilfold for 191.00 and riser for 91.00. That is a 28.00 per item saving. The manifold they advertise as a no name product but part # matches factory OEM Indmar manifold. Is this manifold made by Indmar?? The picture online does not have Indmar stamped onto side of manifold whereas the other vendor you can see Indmar name on casting on the online ordering page*Have you ordered these parts from inboardonline?? Is the manifold they sell a true Indmar OEM product???
I have emailed my vender back on my order and asked him to match these fantastic prices** even if he knocks another 50.00 off my order I will be happy

Both companies are selling genuine Indmar manifolds and risers. Indmar no longer makes manifolds with their name cast into the manifold.
