I have the switchable tips and it's every bit as quit as the thru hub. I was very surprised how quit they were and much easier than pulling the engines for the Y pipe.
here is the link from eddie marineSwitchable tips

How would the cam size or overlap affect the silent choice?

No. Actually, I sold the boat to a friend of mine, but for his girlfriend to agree on buying the boat it must be silent and instead of keeping dealing the price, they want to get the silent for free, In other word, I'm the one who pays for it, that's why I'm looking for something that works well, but first as to be the cheapest...

Actually, I have the Y-pipe option with staight tips no mufflers. Best of both worlds. Loud when you want it and quite in the channel or at the marina.
Silent Choice is illegal up here. It is only legal if it is under 90 decibles with the silent choice off.

whats her definition of silent???
You know......you could easily be into $3000 cdn after its all said and done
You could throw some inserts in the pipes and tell her thats as good as it gets.....tell her its a performance boat not a Sea Ray
Or call Ray at www.doublerperformance.com they're in Barrie Ont.......he could UPS it out your way with no border hassles......he's got all kinds of used muffler set ups around.....doug

Thanks! But for the insert... Last boat I sold them was a 99 Powerquest WITH silent choice..So she knows exactly what it is supposed to sound like when silent.My fault, should have never sold them the powerquest!
