just run the exhaust hose from the tails to the tips. Just remember, CMIs are NOT a bullet proof option, they do develop leaks.

There are a lot of options between stock and cmi's...

i already have the manifolds I got them for a dea and pressure tested them. All is good. Now your saying to run a hose from the silence choice cut out into the the tips? Figured I would be okay just blocking them off for now

I thought you didnt have silent choice....Do you have a y pipe, or are you straight out the back??

im straight out the back thru haul..but the tailpipes I need I found them locally but they have the Aiken choice option. What I was wondering was can I cap the side cutout for the silent choice and use them like thru hauls..

you need tp post a pik..usually the diverter is a separate piece that attaches between the tail and the tip with pieces of exhaust hose.

Then there is also a significant chance that nothing will line up with the existing holes in the transom, You may get lucky, but its not uncommon to plug the holes and cut new one.

I can’t post pictures till my post count is up. But that exact picture you posted im asking is the opening going down to the Y pipe( on the exhaust tail) can I plug that since I don’t have silent choice. I would be running it just straight

Donteven put that part on... just use the black exhaust hose to connect the tail to the tip.
