Guys for you up north with the noise restrictions I read an article on Hot Boat with manufacturer claiming no power loss and no speed loss I can't tell you which brands are claiming this but I can tell you that I have a customers boat that is slightly off on the speed were we need to be and I modified the mufflers and picked up 4 mph on the GPS on flat water this unit is one with that claim of no power loss before you buy make your decision do your home work so you don't buy crap like this. Your welcome to contact me any time with any help you may need.Sincerely Laz Mesa

Guys I made a couple of dif changes but the best one I made was I cut the guts out with a plasma cutter and made a new insert with a swinging trap door like on the oil pans and thats were I got the spring from an old pan at an idle they are quite and most important don't rattle so you don't know they are modified and at anything above 2500 rpm they open no restriction and positively no power loss and the speed back up were it needs to be now let see who copies my idea and makes a real no power loss muffler quite through restricting is always going to cost power and speed no matter what brand they look good but they suck maybe I'll patent the doors just joking good luck guys feel Free to call if you need any type of help Sincerely Laz Mesa
P.S. We need to get more Mesa power up North

I too bought one of the "better" performing mufflers from that published test. Just recieved them. I won't know how they perform till late spring but I will say I am very disappointed in the quality of the workmanship.
I asked to have them swedged for the 4.5 inch diameter pipes I use. Wow what a hack job. For nearly $1800 bucks I expected at least a neat application and welding.
I will contact them and give them a chance to rectify the 4 mufflers as they will not go on the boat as they are now.
If they Balk, I will post their name and pictures withing the next few days. I will also call Mastercard to see what my options are.

Guess I need to re-read it.
Anyway, they called today. They want to make it right.
