New to the site I just bought a 05 donzi 22zx over the summer it has the 350 mag mpi with corsa quick and quiet I wanna change the tips been looking at the eddie marine tips but I've heard that at idle they make a clanking noise due to the internal flappers is there a tip out there that doesn't clank and will this make the boat louder
Thanks josh

mufflers and flappers fine
but a lot of people are just using the flappers that come with the tips which is what I used to do. When we started putting thru hull on or 17 foot model Merc required to use two sets of flappers to meet installation guidelines. I had never even heard of this before but I have had water run up exhaust on a couple of old performance boats i have had
here is a link to a similar item that we use. I have something similar on ebay but don't want to appear to biased
