I have GGB's on my Black Thunder with 598 cu in NA 750 HP. It is much quieter now. You can talk in the cockpit in a normal tone of voice until wind noise over comes exhaust noise. My dock mates appreciated this upgrade.

We've sold GGB's in the past and most of our customers have been happy. [not all].
Our current favorite is the CMI's. I just installed a pair on my Hustler and they've been a strong seller.
CMI Sound Elimination Systems mufflers are the next generation of sound reduction technology form CMI. These mufflers enable boaters to operate their performance boats in stealth mode by reducing sound emissions to levels as low as 85 decibels (dB) -- a level well below the most strict sound emission regulations. CMI's Sound Elimination Systems mufflers are designed to curtail exhaust noise emissions on any marine exhaust system with tailpipes ranging from four to six-inches in diameter, which covers the full range of inboard or stern drive-powered recreational and performance boat applications up to 1500 horsepower. The mufflers are strategically engineered to muffle sound without restricting the exhaust or creating unwanted backpressure, which can inhibit the engine from reaching peak performance power. A superior design results in fewer parts than competitive models, which will ensure long-lasting durability and reliability for marine applications.

Fred, I looked on your website and saw the zoomies or whaterver they are. Would they work? I have the 800 horsepower Whippled motor and am looking at the CMI e-tops (from you of course) and am now looking at the mufflers. Which ones would handle the horsepower, be 4 1/2" and not clamp-ons.
I LOVE BOLT-ONS... LOL

Has anyone tried the slip in silencers like the one from hardin marine? Pro's & Con's?
Arent there mufflers that have a variable system where they get louder as the exhaust pressure increases?
