Thanks again for the info. I didn't realize that I would have to buy exhaust hose. I figured I would just see where I can fit them in and then cut out a section the hose I already have and place them in. Am I wrong in this thinking?

as long as the mufflers are as long or longer than the straight pipe you are replaceing them with you will not need any hose. they need to be mounted in the bilge where the straight pipe is to work.a boat muffler has baffles in them half round sections mounted inside the muffler top ,bottom, top and so on.This keeps water in the muffler quieting the exhaust hope this makes sence

As I mentioned in an earlier post my boat is deep in storage so I can't just go and check it out. I was looking at some photos I have and wondering if I actually do have built in mufflers. As I loog at the exhaust system in the photo the hose comes off the engine and then enters into a fibre-glass type shroud that flared out with the shape of a muffler. Are they built in and I just see them? I would think that they would be accessible? Call me stupid but is that what it is? It is in the lower left hand corner of the photos. Whoops gotta run the Olympic torch is coming by the house in a few minutes! Thanks again in advance.

Your profiles says you have an Elite Bow Rider is that right? What year

IS that a picture of your engine

yep those are mufflers down there cant even think how loud it would be with straight pipes. 330 scorpion in an inboard, bet it hauls tush.Well now you only have two choices to quiet your ride, FAE or some new exhaust tips.I went with tips as I am adding the blade and a FAE wont work with the blade plus I think the tips look better think they were like $280 from bakes marine. I cant find the pic of them but there is a pic in my gallery under 08 falcon mods they were an easy swap

Thanks for all your info and help. I guess I don't need to buy mufflers. Tips maybe the way to go, I was even talking to Bill Baker of Bakes at the Seattle show last week.

Then like h20king said... and I said earlier you have mufflers....go figure
Is it noisy behind the boat or in the boat

you can have this one kevin.Ac nice ride no wood in that boat.Tips will make a big differance there are other styles than what i used just make shure they have a baffle.there is another blog on here somewhere showing the tips centurion uses in europe I chose the ones from bakes that are used on malibu's because of the downturn for surfing next best thing to a FAE

It is noisey both in and behind the boat. I am going to insulate the motor box for sure to make it a little quieter in the boat. The real noise comes from the back when the exhaust isout of the water. You just really notice after you slow down and the wake catches you how much quieter it is. I just thought if there was a way to deaden the noise a bit when I am doing a slow cruise of 10kts or so.
Not a huge deal but would make those relaxing cruises a bit nicer and allow me to hear the tunes.

I just started researching this. Lynnwood Motoplex(WA) installs a Corsa Mod. I saw one on the 240 they sold. I sent out a couple emails and was told to by Corsa to call Shell Buchner at 209-384-0255 ext 20 about different sideswipe options. Haven't bought a boat yet, but will call if I can pull the trigger.
