Exhaust through the transom below the water line?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am rigging a 32 classic and was wondering if anyone has ever had the exhaust exit through the transom and not the deck. Biggest reason is to have the exhaust below the water line at idle to keep me legal with the noise police. Hole on each side of the six drive would work nice I think.

Isn't that what Nor-Tech is doing now?

I am keeping my canopy MTI for Poker Runs and Lake Michigan. I just bought this 32 as a crusier for our local Chain-O-Lakes. I have 525's with the sweep headers and I am worried about reversion if the tailpipes go up and out the deck holes. Plus having the exit under water at idle keeps me legal with the noise police.

What about those donkey dong extentions that go beneth the waterline at idle? You would need some custom pipe at the current exhause holes- but then you wouldn't need to cut the transom.

In the picture above the tails were on center and to make downturns would look odd going around the drives. I plan to make the cutout into a air vent painted to match the hull. Make biggest fear is the 525 headers sweep down too much to have the tails go back up to meet the deck opening. I think the water will drain back into the engine. I think it will be a real clean look exiting on each side of the drive. This was helpful to find out another Skater has done it. Thank you.

Keep in mind it will be a 120mph cruiser. :D We live on some smaller lakes and this will be perfect. If I get bored I know a good enigne builder. Ateco.
