How much would it cost to run the exhaust out the transom? I am sure with the tractor pipes it would not come close to being legal sound wise...other than that I really like it also.

He's got mufflers in the tractor pipes right now. I'm sure if you called GGB he could make something to make it sound very tame. IMO that is a radical looking boat and the tractor pipes add to that, so taking them away makes it just like any other boat..

I bet the most expensive part of running the exhaust through the transom would be the tailpipes themselves. Not that much glass work involved in changing the current set up. But F that, those tractor pipes are BAD AZZ!

I still remember running the inter coastal during the Daytona FPC poker run a few years back. Running in Phils black and purple Glad about 90mph and XXX (when it was the old XXX) ran past us at about 130+ with those dry tractor pipes SCREAMIN'! We just looked at each other and smiled. Those pipes are all business!

I agree on the look and the sound....If I could afford to pull the trigger on it I would want the tractor pipes for events like the LOTO Shootout and various poker runs where sound wasn't an issue, but for every weekend running at LOTO, I wouldn't want to have to deal with the hassell of being pulled over for sound checks....

The PBC Gladiator is one nice set up. $140 seems awfully steep for a soon to be 11 year old boat no matter how much it shines. Is it a 85 mph set up? Somewhere in that area? Have the wife convinced we should go look at it as the Baja has grown stale and we paid off all the houses !!!! Time for some fun debt instead of responsible debt !

I would think it can be bought for some less. It's really clean, should run 92 now. I had one with the same set up, ran 96 in salt after whipple reflash.

I don't think this is an original paint/motif. Does anyone know which one this one started off as?
