I bought a set of GGB's from Trick and have been pleased with them. They are on dry 5" CMI Big Tubes.

I run 4 1/2" dry CMI's with GGB Extremes, no problems so far. They make them in 5" as well.

GGB is the only muffler that I'm aware of that will work with completely dry exhaust.

I called CMI directly about two weeks ago... They're hoping for a late May release.

Here are a few pics of the GGB's. I don't have any pictures of them installed.

The pictured rubber flap will not last a minute at WOT on a truly "dry" exhaust.

If by dry you mean the CMI thruhull tails with the water slots on the end of the tailpipe, we have a muffler that will work. We do a race tail with internal water half couplings and a thru hull water dump for some applications.

Assuming the 5" dry exhaust is on a 1000+ hp engine. A lot of the mufflers I have looked at inlcuding those pictured choke the engine. 5" down to 3.5-4". Sort of defeats the whole system.

were runnin triple 960hp bbc with stainless marine gen III w. 5in pipes on the revo we have been restoring, and ggbs were the only we could find, but instead of restricting the engine we decided to have stainless marine make flared turn downs for the 2 rear engines that run exhaust into the water, but once planned off, are no longer in water, and the center engine we had to run out the sides so we couldnt use mufflers or turn downs, so we just plan on not runnin the center untill away from public :drink:

As I said, I don't have pictures of them installed. I removed the rubber flappers before installation. I run a truly dry system with exhaust water dump over the drive. Of course, I'm only running a 540, with much less than 1,000 hp. :D

The GGB's work well for my application.
