That's exactly how they work! Some of the major benefits are they save the engines by never exposing them to salt water(if you run in the ocean). It also allows you to mantain a more constant temperature allowing you to make more power.

The mufflers are very neat and the best thing is they are extremely functional! Personally I prefer the loud open pipes and plan to run the mufflers only when I have to! I will keep them on the boat incase I need to throw them on!

Actually they are there just not your traditional PVC style. If you go back to post #127 you will see it. It is aluminum block that accepts a #8AN fitting which then routes to the bottom of the aircleaner behind the carb. I didn't want to clutter up the top of the valve covers plus where it is mounted keeps it out of the direct spray from the rockers!
