here the response to an e-mail that I sent to Idmar...... "I am happy to hear you love your Hammerhead ... it is my favorite engine of all the engines we build. It would be pretty impractical to convert your engine to the ETX CAT system. Of course the manifolds and exhaust outlets would have to change but you would also have to change the engine wiring harness and the computer that runs the engine. There are also some additional sensors and some other components that would need to be added to the engine. Another major problem would be that the 2008 vintage computer that runs the engine is not compatible with the 2007 computer in your boat that runs the dashboard etc. By the time you would get it all to work you would have a significant amount of time and money invested that I am not sure would be worth the hassle."
