Best sounding mufflers
I may need to replace my CMI sound elimination mufflers but I do not want anything that is much louder.
Any suggestions for a more deep sounding mufflers that work with an HP525? The CMI's are OK sounding, mine melted from an overheating issue...see were the track slides.
They are stuck in a slightly open mode and may be too loud at idle and then may rob some power at WOT?
I need to pull the trigger shortly.
Thanks,
Jamal

Jamal, I would not run that 525 if the muffler will not open. At WOT you will have too much back pressure. Get them rebuilt, or call Kirk and get a new updated version if CMI can't do anything for you.

Captains Call system would be nice....I think that would be quite involved to retro fit it, wouldn't it?
I am debating if I should get another clamp on style muffler, or since I have most of the exhaust/muffler already appart to go ahead and install a transom mount unit?
Besides looks, is there an advantage to have a transom mount muffler?

Brian41,
What is involved to install the Captains Call to my set up? How do you route the lower exhaust to/through the transom/outdrive?
How much is 50% off?
