I use the 'competetion' style. The inner diameter is slightly bigger. 5 ring unit. I measured a 6 dB sound decrease and no rpm (power) loss at WOT compared to straight wet exhasut. Other slip in silencers reduced the sound the same amount but choked the motor 300-500 rpm at WOT. This was with a stroker small block and 4" thu hull exhaust.

What about turn down tips? Super quiet at idle but keeps water from sloshing into the pipes when at rest.

Your best prevention against water INTRUSION, not reversion, at rest is a good set of internal and external flappers. Water always seeks level so whether you have thru hull or thru prop Y pipe exhaust.

Yes even me think that this is the best way of INTRUSION but no one makes internal flappers for dry exhaust

I think installing the rings 2” up in the pipes upstream of the water dumping in may greatly help with reversion and you get to keep your rubber flaps too. Are the stainless flaps noisy?

What you think ? I think it helps slowing waves from entering aggressively in the tips
Again I run the Competition version 5 ring 4.5" X 5.5" I also have rubber flappers on 525SC's that are about 2" above the water line. I have no reversion issue and they made it much quieter with no power loss. I have dry exhaust that meets water about 1/4" from the end.

Hard to get a good comparison of sound between the Baja and Scarab. Baja has an open swim platform and the Scarab has a solid platform. Solid one holds the sound down to the water and then under the dock.
