Nice, what are you doing for a flapper? I use the angle cut with internal stainless flapper and no mufflers.

Nothing yet, I am not sure if I should make one to fit or run them without.

What do you think of having no flapper?I have silent choice so my thinking is if I get a backplash of water when getting off the throttle it would go down the down pipe, or I shut the thru hull off.

Get the long angle cut tips with internal flappers from Hardin then you can have mufflers or run it straight through.

This make the boat legal where we boat with the law enforcement and still let it sound good.
These tips are rated for 700 HP.

That looks pretty sweet! I'm gonna run without mufflers but will be putting flappers in the tips. Putting the mufflers in the tips is not a bad way to go. I like how yours looks. If I end up having to run them...that's the way I'll go! Personally, (if you look at the pic in my first post) sticking mufflers on the tips would make everything stick WAY way to far out!

Sounds like a good idea. The bolt on clamp on style mufflers are ugly. I'm thinking it is probably a good idea to have the internal stainless flapper but stile debating the idea.

.
We're in Pleasant Hill and run the Delta, Bay and the usuall lake trips when i feel like towing in the summer. You need to hook up with the DLB, good group that runs just about every week all year. Yours must be a different boat but it sounds nice, love old Warlocks! Too bad Tom quote building them years back.

Balogne cut tips are the angled tips.

Ah, "the delta lunch bunch"! I have a good friend that's part of that group. He's got a 21' Daytona Eliminator. I like the delta, just don't care for the inexperienced and disrespectful boaters out there. Your right, we are right around the corner from each other. I live up off Cowell rd. in Concord. A lot of people know me through my 66 mustang. It's a pro street mustang that's dark blue w/ black ralley stripes. It's tubbed, caged, sounds real snotty, etc.... (the lic. plate use to say ITS ALIV. I just switched it to OU 8 DST). I use to take it to Baja Fresh on Fridays for the car show. Don't know if you ever saw or have seen it.

sweet I know that car, seen it at the show a few times. We're over by the old Back40 off Oak Park. Is that Kalor with the Daytona? I've probably talked to you before, I've been in the area most of my days. I used to work for Morgans years back when Timmy was still running top fuel boats.

Yep, Disco Bay Delta is one dangerouse spot for a fast boat, ski boats and water lice with drunk idiots that have checkbooks. We drop in at Pittsburgh and head up the main channel usually and stay in the old delta from Rio Vista to Grand Isle, Bethel, Sherman area. I try and stay away from Orwood, Disco and that whole scene. This time of year we head downriver to the Bay more. We keep our Superhawk and the Regal at Martinez and the wife far prefers the big boats on the bay so the only time the Fountain gets out there is when i go out with the boys.
