im installing exhaust.   Reusing the old silencers and need to know about direction of flow.
baffle on one end is closer than other end and is bullet shape with inlet/discharge down im assuming.

Baffles should hang from 12 o clock. I guess I would put them toward the rear given a choice.

I agree with Kevin's logic. With the baffle towards the exhaust end, there's more area for the water to slosh around muffling the exhaust.

I called Centek and they verified that they made these mufflers for correctcraft and verified the direction of flow.   

Convex baffle goes towards engine and concave baffle is the discharge side.   

I had it right the first time but changed them around over the weekend. Not a hard thing to fix.
