Default Gibson Turndown pipes

Is anyone running the gibson or something similar to the exaust turn down pipes, that dump the exaust under the water at idle. how well do they work. I,ve got e-tops that come out of the engine hatch and it is loud. I need to get to 88db at idle. will they work?

I have 1000 HP with Etops and added the CMi down turns. I am at 78 Dba at idle. Unfortunatley sounds like a Bayliner, but keeps the water patrol off my case.

Do you know what dimensions you need? We can get you quote. We have sold many of these.

Here you go 4.5" Gibson turn-downs. $500 plus shipping takes all four. PM me if you are interested. I paid $900 and had them on the boat for 15 hours.....decided that louder is better.

I started a similar thread in General Discussions before I found this one. GLH posted some pictures there.
