Speed gain is 1/2 mph

They do sound much better at idle, and free rev in neutral. Sound at WOT is hard to notice IMO

Let’s remove the turbulators and see what we get. How about 438.8 HP. That’s 8 HP, or about ½ mph on this boat.

I removed mine and used the same gaskets when the engine was about two years old. I didn't notice any differance..

freshwater use it will never see the ocean, and after the risers there is a large s bend to the tips that escape right below the water line. Is it ok to remove them?

If your exhaust tips exit below the waterline I would recommend keeping the turbulators in place to avod the condensation rusting that will occur on the stock iron head seats and valves with moderate idling time.
