Shotgun Muffler Tips???
 

I'm thinking about putting either the Shotgun Muffler Tips on our Fountain or at least something like Shotgun's.

Anyone know where the best deal on them is??

Have any different muffler tips or idea's?? I thought I would stay with a Shotgun like style, since they are automatic, or open on their own.... Anyone have any pro's or con's???????

Brad, I've put Shotguns on the Pantera. There is a significant difference in how loud it is especially at idle and all through the rpm range. Used to have to yell while talking at idle. Now you can carry on a conversation without much effort. I think I paid about $400-$420 for mine locally.

Griff, they made that much of a difference? Cool! What power do you have?:cool:

Will they work on dry stainless marine?

Griff, Locally??? There is a place in Nebraska to buy boat parts?? Come on!!!!

Really, where did you get them?

Cat, I got your PM, maybe one of the cool suppliers that are here on the board will give us a deal if we buy more than one or two set's?? Hint, Hint, Hint!!!! is anyone listening????

Griff had to take a nap :D you know how those old guys are

He has a merc 525sc

I am running a pair on my 468, 435 hp motor as well. I have talked to Drew (at Drew Marine, who makes the Shotguns) about them several times. He says they will work on dry exhaust, though you will see less db loss than a wet system. I ordered them direct from Drew (back of Hotboat Magazine) and paid the same thing Griff did.

And yes, they take the "bark" out of your exhaust, especially at idle.

'Foul

The bad thing is you are right-- I took a nap:D Worked till 3am then in court from 830-noon and had to go back to work at 430.

Yep, power is a 525SC and they did help quite a bit. Got them from Midwest Performance Boats here in Bellevue NE.

Was there any affect on performance after installing the shotguns? The reason I ask is that I am looking for some mufflers as well. I have heard good things about the Teague's but am definitely open to other options.

Good reduction in db...zero loss in hp and totally maintenance free,I would buy them in a heart beat
