82-88 Exhaust setup photos?

Good morning ya'll!

I have an 89 Ski that I have been restoring to factory original save for a couple minor modern touches. The one thing I simply could not keep however was the inveraflow. So this spring I removed it and replaced it with a centek Y-pipe with no mufflers. My boat sounds better and to be honest, has a unique sound to it now. All my lake buds know it's my boat just by how it sounds, but it is no where near what the 82-88 2001's sound like. Those boats are some of the best sounding boats on the water still to this day in my opinion. I feel because I still have two manifolds worth of water coming out of a single exit that recreating that sound simply wont happen with single exit. I understand converting my boat to true dual exhaust is an undertaking, but can be done (I believe someone here did their 93), but I'm wondering if anyone has any good pictures of their 88 and prior 2001 exhaust setup. My main obstacle I would assume would be the rudder arm and clearance for the hose. I also understand that the stringers in my boat are set closer to the keel of the hull further decreasing the room needed for the conversion.

A penny for your thoughts?

Thanks all!!

What was your main motivation for removing the inveraflow if you don't mind me asking? Curious as an 89' Sport owner. Was there any noticeable difference or improvement other than sound?

Likely no performance difference - that could be humanly detected anyway. Just a a better and slightly louder sound. The sound difference at sub-plane levels is negligible, on plane much more so.

If you want it to sound the same you'll need dual 3" outlets too. In that case fill the transom and drill your new exhaust out towards the stringers.

Obvioisly you'll need to flip the tiller upside down.
