Transom Mount Silencer Choice: Rex or Hardin
Hate the look of bolt-on silencers, so I have to go to a full time transom mount silencer exhaust system. 509 mild blower engine with Imco. Narrowed decision down to a choice between Rex and Hardin Marine. Does anybody have a picture of the Hardin Marine Transom Mount Silencers from the rear? Is it an open configuration like the Rex or a closed like the Corsa? Pictures of the two below. Comments on experiences with either product appreciated.

The Gibsons are nice, I know he runs them on his own MTI.
GGB sure has the most experience with these things and they look pretty sweet. I'm running them on my own boat and have a few sets going down th LA. We've got the same probs. up here on the Delta that you boys do down there on the lakes. GGB's have an internal flap and will bring the noise down 12-15db's with no power loss. And they're only 7.5" long.
Let me know if you're interested I'v got great prices on them.

Re: Transom Mount Silencer Choice: Rex or Hardin
Thanks everyone! Now I have expanded my choice to three. Eliminated the Rex Marine based on costs; they are over twice the price of the remaining three. Also, heard today that CMI is coming out with one. Anybody have any info and pictures of the new CMIs?
