    Dry Exhaust
    #1
    What advantages are there?

    How do you convert?

    I am running GIL manifolds/ wet exhaust.

    I want my boat to be louder. I took off my mufflers last year but it had little effect.

    pro's - no reversion, great (to most people) sound
    con's - cost, some rigging for dumps, bad (to some people) sound
    People we meet in life are either a Blessing or a Lesson

    Just stick some new tails on there..have the dump on the back of the tailpipe !!

    2 tailpipes ~ 1500 bucks !!!!!

    for an extra 2500 stick some nice SM manifolds on it and feel the sound !

    Sometimes even just the air / fuel mixture can make it louder or quieter depending on if its rich or lean.
    If you want max noise level then long tube headers would be the way to go,
    you may be able to sell your current system and put that towards a good used set with dry tails.
    Cant imagine how to get louder than that.

    you can also have your current gil risers converted to dry. Gil will probably do it... they will cut the end off where the water dumps in, lengthen the tubes to fit your boat, weld it all back up and add a dump either outside the hull or inside that you have to attach hoses to in order to dump outside.

    Little.. On a pleasure boat with Gils making them dry and louder will most likely do nothing but, get you tickets for noise.

    This is what my boat has. Dumps some water out the hoses and a little bit out the exhaust. It is pretty damn loud.

    I lengthened the internal stainless tubes on my risers and they dump into my tips. I have a small block with a lot of cam and needed this to combat reversion (it works). Very loud! But again it's a small block so how loud can it be?

    Last year I had three quarter pipes and switched to full lenght tails with water dumping at the end. Nice sound, not as loud as true dry exhaust just right. Oh ,also I have SM manifolds. The best sound is Stelings(sp) headers big tube sounds like a prostock car , nice and crisp!!!!
