Default Anyone making 4 1/2" tips w/internal flappers?

I am trying to replace a set of switchable muffler style exhaust tips on my Baja H2X. The old tips and the holes in the transom are 4 1/2". Is there anyone out there making or who can make a set of 4 1/2" stainless tips with internal flappers? Any help would be appreciated.

I need the same exact thing.

I took out my Eddie Marine silent choice rattling noise makers.

I need the ends where the exhaust hoses attach to the risers to be 4" diameter, the thru hull tube to be 4 1/2" diameter and match the 3 exhisting mounting holes.

Exactly, I still need the 4" on the inside. The flange on my old ones were 6" in diameter and I have been told that a regular 4" tip will work as long as the flange is 6" and you get it sealed up good.

Before I go afro-engineering a set up, I wanted to see if anyone out there has what I am looking for.

You might try Rex Marine, they make some with anti-rattle flappers, I think they offer a 4 1/2" size. Steve

Teague has a set of electric switchable muffler tips that are 4 1/2 OD . Not that pricey, and you can still make her quiet when you want. I had a set and loved em.

Just an option.

[QUOTE=Canada Jeff;2086734]Teague has a set of electric switchable muffler tips that are 4 1/2 OD .

I had a set of those on there, but a certain "big" marina in the Somerset, KY area blew the serpentine belt off when they had my boat on consignment, and instead of fixing it, they ran it back in with no water pump and melted the internal flappers out of the tips (the heat also caused a major malfunction with my supercharger a few days later).

So, since they are discolored and have no flapper I want to change them out. I never used the muffler anyway. Thanks for the info and input.

I took the internal flaper out of my tips when I bought them. I think I still have them. If I do you can have them. They just slip in from the outside and a blot holds them in place right?

That may work, but I can not remember if the flapper bolt is removable or not. For some reason i think it is welded into the tip which is why i could not replace the flappers previously. I appreciate the offer, but the tips are so discolored from the heat I am just going to figure out something and go with new ones.
