Ran one set on a 700sci, very quiet, very nice for cruising, I just wish it had a switch because every once in awhile you want the sound of the exhuast. But otherwise, it seems to work very well.

Does anyone know if they can be purchased for any engine?

How much additional price are we talking?

I have been working through a diverter system design that would still allow thru transom exhaust (with reversion protection)

I was told there is a cutaway diagram of this new unit, somewhere. One was in a magazine, and the other was at a Merc site.. anyone know of such a pic or diagram??

Would love to be stealthy at 100mph..

I would just like to do 100 even if it sounded like a funny car.

I would think you could reto-fit them to any engine but I'm sure it would be a pricey proposition. Custom 2 into 1 (Y) tailpipes, plus the cost of the boxes. I do like the concept though! Steve

It's just a box that fits over the tailpipe, I am sure it could be fit to anything.

I agree that it could be fit to anything... but....

For me, the problem is dry tailpipe length above the water... I wouldn't even be comfortable putting the merc system on my boat without knowing the reversion potential. The 700sci is supercharged, meaning it probably has a milder cam than my 700hp NA motors. (I threw my corsa silent choice out when I switched engines). So that's where the work comes in - some water jacketed stainless with some well placed valves I'm thinking - introducing the water at the right place in a controlled amount is what I'm after.

Dick - If you click the "view larger" button on the following site - they have a pretty good picture:

The other thing, if I ever get the first system welded up... I am definitely going to have a water jacketed diverter and keep my through transom exhaust (regardless of the law in this state)... then at least I'll know what kind of power loss we're talking. If done right, I would think it shouldn't be much, but I'd rather know.
