Side exhaust tips

[thestigmach1]

I'm wanting to run side exhaust on my sea ray, because the v8 noises make me happy and I like being that guy you can hear across the lake. For some reason I cant find any side tips that are reasonable priced and am wondering if theres any reason you cant run flush mount thru hull with internal flappers on the sides. The ones I'm looking at would look pretty good just dont have that 45 angle

on the side you would want flush mount

and yes, the three things that make them expensive

• 316 stainless
• mirror polishing
• low volume

lots of research has gone into side tips to prevent water ingestion, I would suggest spending the $600 on a good set of side exits

if you want straight transom thru-hulls, use them in the correct location

Not to many things on a boat that are reasonable, and as Scott mentioned, there are also reasons things are done the way they are

Was afraid you guys would say that. Kinda thought with the built in flappers the flush mount ones might be ok. Back to scouring Ebay and craigslist then.

side tips, mufflers and diverters as a kit will be about $2500

new tips are $600 a pair, Mufflers about $800 a pair and diverters about $1200 a pair.

Stig can save 800 bucks for mufflers cuz he wants to be guy heard across the lake and is cursed at when he goes by.

until his wife/girl/admiral/etc/ says the boat is too loud

or when the headache of listening to exhaust for hours on end drives him nuts.

Nah I never get tired of hearing that sound. One of my trucks is just as loud and I never get tired of that. I found a set of tips from a cobalt boat but they have 1.25 inlets on them. I cant find anything that would go from the 3inch, I think, down to that to make it work.

your going to need 3 or 4" tips

1.25" is a bilge outlet

Except for the whistle, it will be quieter.

These are exhaust tips, found them multiple places online apparently made by cobalt boats from what I understand.

My old 1500cc VW had bigger exhaust than that.

I doubt Cobalt made the tips, probably made for a Cobalt.

those are most likely generator discharge tips at 1-1/4" for a 15hp (7kw) generator

there is no cheap solution for the correct size

look for a corsa 11062 or similar

Funny thread. Back in the day most of our friends and neighbors on the river bought Evinrudes since they were much quieter than the Mercs.

Seemed odd to me to have a pair, all the sites sold them as pairs, and to have such big exits to be generator tips. I'll just keep my eye out for a good used set of the proper.

maybe since those are obsolete inventory and they need to dump old inventory for tax reasons they are hoping someone doesnt read the fine print, I would do the same.
