Exhaust tips,,,

[Fishermanjm]

I'm in the process of changing the stern look , the original can tips are going.
I want to go with a straight thru tip slanted downward cut with internal flaps
what brand do u suggest an how difficult a job am I looking at?

It's a pretty easy job as long as some clown didn't put them on with 5200. Put a piece of wood in them and rock them loose. I like to use 4200 sealant but some use silicone. I bought mine used so can't help with brand. You're gonna love the sound!

As I've always said . The 'other' invention of the devil . The most inappropriate and over used stuff around for 99% of all sealing jobs done on boats .

slash tips by far look the best but if you use the back of the boat a lot like swimming and getting back on they are THE sharpest and will draw blood

Matty's correct, be careful.
But one thing to consider is once you install them you can no longer attach any clamp on mufflers. The exhaust noise is cool, for awhile, but is quickly tiring. You'll just wish you could tone it down a bit. Women in the back seat really don't like it.
Another thing to consider is install gaskets on the transom. They'really readily available. Having gaskets makes changing exhaust hoses a lot easier because the tips are easily removeable.

Soo the exhaust is Stainless Marine, just stick with them???

I'd go with the straight through tips. A lot of us run them. JMO

If you really want to go loud, get "Dry Offshores". Mine are Gils and Hardin Marine bought them out. The entire pipe goes through the transom.

So I have found plenty of different exhaust tips like Corsa Performance from Marine Parts Source. 306.00 a pair. Not too bad however no gaskets. Where should I look for them??? The stock tips on the boat are Corsa,,, right???

Use 4200 removable adhesive/sealant with no gasket. Silicone seems to be an option but I like 4200.

CP Performance probably has everything you want....

You could easily cut your own gaskets out of rubber. An old tire tube would work, if you can find one.

Make sure every hole is sealed if you are going to rely just on a gasket.

Just ordered these to add to my straight cut tips and got rid of my external flaps

Don't worry about the gaskets sealing, they do just fine.
