Default Baffles in Exhaust?

Guys – Has anyone cut these out? Is it as easy as cutting them out? How much throatier/louder did it get? Any performance gains?

Thanks in advance for the help. I am not a very technical person but think I might be able to manage this.

Mike

I konw it will make it much throatier, but at a price. The price is the chance of taking in water cuz the baffles double as anti-surge valves. So, you must have external flappers at a minimun. For teh time and energy, new tips are not that much from say Rex Marine and will be nice and loud with the anti-surge valve in them. Enjoy.

Good point. I have the flaps and wouldn't plan on taking them off.

Are there any performace gains from adding the tips or removing the baffles? I guess I am thinking the engine is breathing better...

Thanks,

Mike

Dont just hack the tips.. Do it right & replace them.. They arent that expensive to replace & do it the right way. There is no major performance gains achieved, but it does help & will sound louder & better. I also recomend that there is some sort of flapper inside to help reduce the risk of water intrusion which is not to be confused with reversion.. If you want a price on good tips feel free to give me a call. This way you can do the job right.. Jamie / Lakeside 570-639-2928

We will offer an even trade deal, your (used) muffler tips for a set of (used) thru hull tips? + shipping charges. We have a couple of styles to choose from.

Muffler tips are worth more, some of the local areas are cutting down on loud exhaust, so mufflers are easier to sell.

What do you have to offer? Do you have a link? I have an 06 Outlaw with thru hull quick and quiet. Do you have something to replace what I have to give me a better sound? Thanks for any info you may have.
