On my 242, I removed the baffles but also extended the risers to have them mix exhaust and water inside the transom tips. Having a supercharger helps with the sound ;)

On my 223 LS, I drilled holes in the bottom and through the baffle wall on each side. I ran it like that for 1 season and it still wasn't enough for me so I removed the ST platform last year and installed an aftermarket platform with Hardin Marine tips. She's loud now.

That turned out really nice!

Where's the platform from?

Thanks TomZ, it is from Extreme Marine.
