Before I knew it I had damaged the mains and broke the crank shaft. Mine is loud all the time, just turn up the stereo. You could get mufflers on the tips.
I hear ya loud and clear Jeff..but was just wondering if the EMI silent choice tailpipes might give me a measure of protection over the stock risers like you had used...just a thought.
The other thing is I don't think I could use a long tailpipe because right after the riser there are 90 deg elbows to get the pipes to the extreme outside of the boat at the water line. Maybe I can find a picture.

I did contact the tech people at Eddie Marine concerning water ingestion using their silent choice stainless risers. They do NOT recomend going over 230 degrees on the exhaust side even with 112 LSA. So I guess I'll save the 731 for something else.
The good news is that the entire comp kit (222/230) can be had for less than a grand, including springs, retainers, studs, pushrods, lifters etc.
I still need to find someone to program my ECU.
