Default 242 Exhaust

Well I have been thinking about this all winter long on how to clean up the exhaust going through the platform. Thanks to Rambicous with his new video I thought I would do the same.I was going to use flexable exhaust hose, but I was a little unsure about all the bends. So I talked to my brother inlaw who works with stainless alot an came up with this design.

Let me know what you think, my brother inlaw said he never wants to see my platform again

One more then I need to install an glass up the platform and order new gaskets.

I hope I get a little more sound out of this system

Pretty cool. Will there be bottoms in the larger square section? Looks like that section goes against the inside of the board at the transom, right?

Reason I'm asking is that if the large "box" section of the new exhaust is left open to the inside of the board an you plumb the stainless directly to the outlets, there will be no outlet for the exhaust that escapes the stainless box section. I'm probably just not seeing something correctly though.

Third, the box opens either to the left or right depending on the side, the box is small but all the stainless is 4' plenty of room to breath. I will also attach the box to the platform.

Thanks Mo, my brother inlaw had it for three weeks I was getting a little nervous. A lot of work for no HP

My only fear would be blowing the exhaust into the square box and leaving it to find its own way out without a built in curve to guide it
But then again , you don't have maga horse power
Should sound pretty good

You know what looks better, saves weight, and avoids all the fabrication and exhaust guesswork?... take the platform off and replace it. Then run the exhaust straight out the transom.
