Great effort Mike! Don't blow your brains out on big power. I was given good advice recently. "You got to finish the race." I look forward to catching up at some point. Good luck with the other stuff you got going this summer.

Default exhaust pipes

when you cut the pipes down did you weld the inners to outers and put the upper and lower drain holes back in.

i want to have my gil dry pipes welded around the perimeters and keep the drain holes, just wondering about pressure issues w/o water sneaking out of the swaged ends.

looks really nice, good luck getting dialed in

Ya dan ill get a pic.
They look pretty sick now. Factory pipes are crushed together and welded.
We cut & filled the gap welding, then ground it clean. Drilled a couple relief pee holes.
Im pulling em to move the bungs inside the boat this winter I think.

Very easy to dial in another 10- 12 with that power and drive so stick with it. Great looking ride.
