Hey guys got a question? I was thinking about taking my snails off my logs and welding up just some straight pipes for it. Do you guys think that would be ok?

Everyone wants a loud boat Glenn duhhhh.

But me i say no only because I like being able to crawl around the boat after I shut down and don't ave to worry about getting burned. And remember the louder the boat the more attention you get both good and bad.

Sounds like a PITA to me and for what benefit?  From my experiance having logs and snails is a nice and easy to work around, I have even had coolers land on them while running and didn't even damage the cooler once at our destination.  That sort of old school OT pipe will have it's downside even though it will probably be louder, not much of a performance gain for the effort.

That helps a lot thanks. did you make those? and how do you get the water to come out after 1500 rpm? is stainless the only way to go or just the best? also did the wrap help at all for heat? and what passage's will I have to block off? I would run those water lines in the last few inches to.
