Re: Mesa test mufflers power and speed claims
Sadly, arguably the best muffler around is the GGB, and they didn't make it into the Hot Boat tests sadly...
I replaced my Corsa's with some GGB Extremes a couple of weeks ago and gained 100 rpm's!!
They sound awesome, too.
Take a look at www.ggb.ca.
Here's a picture of the insides of mine. You tell me how they flow!!!!
I bought mine from Bob at Full Throttle Marine.

How much did you pay for a pair? I need a full time in-line muffler and these look like the ticket.

Re: Mesa test mufflers power and speed claims
These ARE the ticket!
GGB makes clamp-ons and transom mount Extreme's. I opted for the transom mount. The clamp-ons are the same design. They use some type of noise cancelling technology instead of stupid baffles that kill your hp. Did you see the dyno test on their website? A 502 actually gained torque at certain RPM's over OPEN EXHAUST!! They also come with an integrated internal flapper, so no more ugly external Salisbury!!
The retail price if I remember right is $890 per pair, not cheap, but they are a work of art, and WORK. Mark my words!
I would recommend calling Bob at FTM. He is a dealer, and has used lots of these in mostly blown engine boat projects where they needed mufflers. His number is 830-693-5591.
Formula78, are you going to the Ski Dock poker run on April 9th? I plan on going. If you go, then you can check these out first hand for looks and sound. They sound awesome, and only 89db on my engine (measured 4' behind and to the side of the boat at idle). Our limit on Travis is 92db. Look me up if you go! My little tiny Donzi is Purple and Yellow with no fancy graphics. I can post a picture of my boat, if you decide to go and want to meet up...
Or, I'm on the lake full time! Let me know if you want to come by anytime to check these out. I live on the Bee Creek cove.
Take care,
Kent

Re: Mesa test mufflers power and speed claims
I also posted a video on the 'other' forum (SW) of my HP500 idling in the dock. You can see the GGB's and hear them!!
I don't know how to post a video here.

$890!! WOW! I found a price on the slip ins at $169 on the net, but there is a lot less to a slip in than a transom mount so I am sure that accounts for it. I will call Bob, I have not done any business with him yet but I need to support the local guys or we wont have them.
With any luck I will make the poker run on the 9'th, but I am not 100% positive. The motor is still at the machine shop and I am out of town until at least April 1. That gives me a week to get everything done so it may be cutting it close. I'm crossing my fingers but I may be enjoying the run from the shore.
I have an old baby bird with no graphics so your Donzi will be in good company.

Re: Mesa test mufflers power and speed claims
I tried some slip in silencers on a hot small block and they killed the power output. The boat lost 5 MPH and the acceleration was way off. I can't imagine how bad they would hurt the performance on a 500+ HP big block!!

Re: Mesa test mufflers power and speed claims
Is there an unwritten rule for not giving prices on this site. Who gives the best price on the GGB's. The slip inns on my old boat also lost mph and speed. Restriction was so bad it warped the stainless pipe!
