I have put some of the gatlin mufflers on my 25 eagle eliminator. I was going to run the rubber flaps that go on the end of the tips to keep the water from going back in with a wave or whatever. They look ugly as heck back there. So i got the internal tip flappers put in between the tail pipe and tip. Will those internal flappers be sufficient, or do i need the end flaps as well?

I've just installed the new style from Hardin Marine. Rubber flapper on the inside. They do have a tic tac toe grid in them for the rubber to push against.
I've noticed the rubber stays bent out a bit, but as soon as water pushes it back it stays there. So I come off plane and dab the throttle to avoid that first rush of water.
I also noticed an ever slight change in exhaust tone. Hardin claims the rubber is heat resistant or so. I'll see how well they hold up. I love that there is no rattle anymore. That will drive you crazy.
