Hey, lets get your opinion on which tip would look best?
 
Lets get your opinion on which tip you think would look best on the back of my boat? (maybe we'll do a majority wins....I cant decide!)

A.) STRAIGHT CUT TIP.

B.) ANGLE CUT TIP (LONGEST SECTION ON TOP / SHORTEST ON BOTTOM).

C.) FLUSH MOUNT TIPS.

Straight cut ! with room for muffler inserts ...

CigDaze 11-02-2010 10:59 AM

I prefer straight; it looks better and more functional with attaching flappers/mufflers if necessary.

I think angled looks better, but I agree on the functionality of the straight cut. For that reason, i would go with straight.

I prefer straight personally but a Warlock looks pretty good with some classic balogne cut tips.

mustangmark, you're just around the corner from us. I don't think I know your boat though, is that Walts old Warlock?

kreed 11-02-2010 03:55 PM

I WOULDNT go with straight, just because you CAN put mufflers on them!:eek::eek: Slash cuts and let-r-rip!!!

The guy I bought my warlock from lives out in Sebastopol. I picked it up a little over a year ago. I had a really wild looking flatbottom that said "whiplash" on the side of it before the warlock. What city do you live in? What do you mean by balogne cut tips? Still new to the i/o stuff...learning fast though. Where abouts do you run your boat?
A buddy of mine sold his warlock euro 24 quite a few years back (like 5-6 years ago) that was the same color mine is. Matter of fact, when I went to look at mine I really thought it was my friends old boat at first. How long ago did your friend Walt buy his warlock and do you know where he bought it from? These boats seem to be fairly rare not to mention, far and few in between.....it wouldn't surprise me if his boat belonged to my buddy Cody if it was the same color! Sense I've been into the boat scene, my buddies is the only other warlock euro 24 I've come across. Every once in a while I will find some pictures of one but it's not that often.

mustangmark 11-02-2010 08:17 PM

which tips?
 
Looks like we can sh!^ can the flush mount tips. I'm glad about that because they where my last choice! When you guys say the straight cut tips will be more functional are you referring to the ability to put external flappers or mufflers on the tips? I will definitely have internal flappers inside the tips. I'm going to order them with em'.
This might sound like a stupid question, has anyone managed to cut themselves or heard of someone cutting themselves on the angle cut tips climbing in or out of a boat? I think the angle cut tips would look bad a** but also like how the straight cut tips look so I guess it comes down to WHATS GONNA LOOK MORE AGGRESSIVE!
I have to have these things custom made if I go angle cut because I have not been able to find anything but straight cut that has a 25 or 30 degree mounting flange to match my transom angle! ahhhhh.....decisions, decisions, decisions!!!

BONDO10 11-03-2010 06:37 AM

I have angle cut with internal flappers.Look and sound awesome. Mufflers are for Sundancers!!!!!:party-smiley-004:

tips
 
I like all the opinions that you guys have been leaving! At first from the input I was receiving (here and through my friends that I hang out and boat with) it looked like "the straights" where gonna run away with it "like a Brown / Whitman gov. race" lol! but it turns out that there's a lot of people that like the angle cut style too!

verbi69 11-03-2010 08:07 AM

Go Slash Cut with internal muffler

jeffswav 11-03-2010 07:02 PM

Angle cut, mufflers suck, let it breath !!!! Well unless you have a law enforcement issue.

I know mufflers suck so what I had done to my tips was to remove the internal flapper and tig weld an internal muffler as shown.
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.

jeffswav 11-03-2010 07:58 PM

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.

Keith Atlanta 11-03-2010 09:30 PM

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

verbi69 11-03-2010 09:35 PM

Keith you figure the exhaust tips should have flappers??
I dont want to buy new ones!!

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.

Lofty 11-04-2010 01:36 PM

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.

Lofty 11-04-2010 01:39 PM

Btw, don't bother buying tips, I've got a bunch of old stock i can sell you cheap! Brand new in box, come over take a look and see if I have anything you want. I keep meaning to post it up in the swapshop.

Thank, I like the look and sound from these tips!!

Thunder, sorry about the Camaro pic, I screwed that one up and cant get back to size properly. I will have to do it from home.

Man, It's a small world! I probably bought parts at one time or anther from you when you worked at morgans! My buddy Adam W. owns the daytona. Adam has been around for awhile. He use to race his camaro in outlaw back in the day if I recall correctly. Way back then, he was running in the 9's (we're talking like 92) which was pretty damn fast back then compared to where we where all running.
I don't know if you had heard about this Delta accident or not but this past summer I had my warlock out there and as we where heading to ski beach I ran out of gas. I know, dumb ass move on my part! Anyway, I had a buddy with me that had a friend that lived close by that was willing to bring us some gas. We waited for about an hour before my buddies friend and his daughter showed up to bail us out. We got the boat fired back up and went on our way. I found out later that day that after they helped us out, that the daughter was struck by a wake boarder jumping a wake while she was driving the boat. Apparently,the boats where coming in different directions and the wake boarder didn't see the jet boat coming, cut across his wake and landed on the jet boat she was driving hitting her in the head then ending up wrapped around the motor (tunnel ram motor to make it that much worse). I don't know how close the boats where to each other but do know that some of the channels out there are pretty narrow. Personally, I feel that someone in the wake board boat should have been using "hand-gestures" to warn the wake boarder of on coming boats. In the end I don't think they found either party at fault and it was looked at as an unfortunate circumstance but goes to show you how crazy it is out there. Both the people involved where seriously hurt in the accident and had to be life-flighted out. Fortunately, neither person was killed and they have both recovered from their injuries from what I have been told. I actually saw the daughter a couple weeks after the accident at her dads house and other than the neck brace she was wearing and some bruises she was doing really well.
I completely understand way you launch out of pitt. I go there often to put in and test. my roommate is also into the boating scene. He has a 34' scarab.

Sounds good, I'll have to see what you have. That could really help me out. I got the quote back from stainless marine today for them to fab up the tips and nearly had a heart attack! If I have to go that route though I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and fork out the cash!

WINspeed 04-14-2011 01:09 AM

You should get some of these

Nice Adam, you gotta' love those Oakland folk! The only reason I go near that town is to get to the airport.

I have a set of 4" Stainless Marine straight cut with internal flapper; new, never installed. You can have them for $60. Located in San Jose.

Lofty, this is Greg; how is the red ICBM doing?
