Wondering if anybody has removed the pancake like stacked baffles in the tips of their quick and quiet exhaust tips. I believe this is super simple but would love advice from someone who has been there....THanks a bunch

I looked into this. There was spot welds on the baffles of my corsa muffled tips. I got new tips with internal butterflies(because I went to a dealer) Glad I didn't get the baffles out of the muffled tips, because I didn't know about reversion of water or waves washing back up the exhaust and the possibility of ruining the engine.

Just buy new straight through tips. They don't cost much.

Plus you can probably recoupe your cost of new tips by selling your muffled ones. I did. I was disappointed in the sound of my 7.4 liter at idle without the corsa tips. The corsa muffled tips gave more of spurt, spurt, gurgle, spurt, spurt sound than the straight tips that just gave a constant gurgle sound. I have the mufflers on my new to me boat and can't decide to replace them or not with non muffled tips. The 454 mags have more loping cam than my previous 7.4L. With the muffled tips on the 7.4 it sounded like I had a more high performance engine than I did. I thought this because of all the coughing and sputtering of water that the muffled tips caused. I gained absoulutely no speed with non muffled tips. To sum up my experience, corsa muffled tips make a mild engine sound more aggresive than open tips at idle. All subjective to the listener.

I agree, then you could get them with an internal flapper too, which I recommend when you have a non baffled tip..

I offer some that start out rather inexpensively too..

Thanks guys...One more Question though....My tips are a few inches above the water line and also they angle steep up to my risers (prob climbing up about six inches above tips to risers) so I believe I have nothing to worry about regarding reversion if I removed baffles or just got straight tips. Also I have external flappers already on the tips. THANKS AGAIN

Straight tips have internal flappers. If you hollow yours out, leave the rubber tip flapper on and you are correct; Water should not get in.

There was two on mine plus the rubber flapper.I took one out of each and left one in plus the rubber flapper.I did this when I did my exhaust and went strait thru hull plugging the prop exhaust.I was concerned that having two would cause to much back pressure.I got them out by grinding the welds with a carbide burr and a die grinder.You have to be careful not to put a hole in the pipe itself.I started grinding above the weld in the baffle as not to be near the pipe.Once you get ride of two welds I was able to grab the baffle with pliers and moving it back and forth cracked the other two welds.I got bored after doing two and just used an air chisel on the last two worked fine but I am good with a chisel and you have to be careful.It did make the boat sound better and I ran it all season with the one out it caused no problems.
