Exhaust question
 
Hey all. I have been a member with screamandfly for a while now and sold my fast boats and bought a family boat a 2005 tahoe 215 with the 4.3. It no slouch of a boat though. The other day me and my boy got 51. Know here is my question I miss the fast boats and all and thought about getting a fountain fever 27 for sound and all but really love this tahoe. So how would a 4.3 sound with thru hull exhaust. Was thinking about the Corsa switchable exhaust so it would sound nasty for the itch I have been having lol. I know there want be any performance increase to speak of. But concerned that it will not sound good and I will be out 1800$ or so. Thanks and any video of a 4.3 with thru hull exhaust would be great. I could only find about three on YouTube and thought they sounded good idling not so good running

Have you ever heard one of the 90's 6 cylinder Camaros with Flowmaster mufflers? About that sound....

It will not sound good. V6's just don't sound good, with the exception of a Grand National running lots of boost.

The 4.3's sound much better under water.

I would satisfy another itch as I'm sure you have several.

It will sound like a loud V-6.....a loud stock V-6.

A friend did this many years ago to a v-6 sea ray, yup sounded like a loud 6. Trust me save your money.

Thanks that's what I thought. But just wanted to hear it I guess.

Start your boat up out of the water on the hose and rev it up a bit, that is what it will sound like more or less. Drop a small block in it instead.

You could always put playing cards in the spokes...about the same effect. :party-smiley-004:

I was thinking like a cat in heat screaming thru a fan.
