Do mufflers rob speed?

I had changed them on my old 23 and I'll say they was defiantly a change in the sound. It was much louder. Loud enough that the wife really noticed and of course I got what did you do????? Speed wise no difference but the 23 was a real tank. I think your right the bigger HP's motors may see some increase.

Hi John,
My boat would run a steady 64 mph with a labbed Bravo 1 26 pitch and with the Raylar now I am seeing 70 mph on gps.
I have not run the boat with the labbed prop because I had taken it off and sent to to BBlades for some cleanup and rework.....so I expect to see another couple mph for sure.
I am also running the stock exhaust - no headers yet.
The kit is not cheap for sure and I had a professional shop do the install along with a full tune up like plugs wires all filters belts and impeller and drive service so the bill added up quickly.
I love my boat and wasnt ready for twins so there is no replacement for power....and this thing really works now.....there is no lack of power anywhere in the rpm range...it pulls hard.
