Mine is loud as hell, 3" copper straight pipes... it did get more noticable in the boat last summer at heavy ,load 18mph. turned out to be a rotten rubber hose at the exhaust manifold connection.
I like things you can hear run... |

As far as I know the pipes are factory, the 68 chris is the same way with just smaller pipes. I did not take pictures of the pipes when I replaced the rubber hoses and the carpet is down now so thats out of the question now.
I think others just replaced the mufflers with 3" copper plumbing in the past and galvalume coated exhaust or stainless pipe when copper got so high. The chris sounds almost as good, the wife thinks even better witht he 185hp 283, the Stang has the stock 225OMC 307 chebby but it really talks turning 5k on a quiet morning. Ill figure out the diary thing over the Christmas shutdown. i need to get the Stang back from the trim shop so I can get some better pics of it for the profile. All i have currently are int he sig link. |
