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) soundPeople we meet in life are either a Blessing or a Lesson

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.

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?

Oh ,also I have SM manifolds. The best sound is Stelings(sp) headers big tube sounds like a prostock car , nice and crisp!!!!
