Brandon, what. Sealing the as pipes to the risers?
I don't see any rubber, clamps, joint etc. Looks awesome but what's the secret?

Deciding weather to polish, or have them Jet Hot coated to keep the heat down. That stuff does wonders

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

polish em!  the water will be exiting the exhaust and even though they ARENT jacketed at that point they'll be "eh" hot.  same as touching the riser on a log system.  if your log riser wasnt hot, these wont be either. 


if they end up getting too warm for you, then you can get em coated... you cant go the other way around.  =)

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback. This has been something I've wanted to do now for a few years. Sometimes it pays off to wait for the deals to come. The whole exhaust conversion cost me around $200

I got everything fabbed up, bolted on and tested. This boat hasnt run this good since ive owned it. with the new 4" center rise exhaust, and the new split bowl and mini droop(thanks Nordie), this thing picked up around 200rpms, and what feels like about 8-10mph. The droop made such a huge difference, you can feel the boat lift when you stab the throttle, and free up and go.

I finally got some new kicks for the trailer. My issue was that they are 50 series tires, but 90% so it'd be stupid to buy new tires for the wheels. I decided to lower the fenders down to match, which im glad I did, because I actually wanted to raise the boat on the trailer to get the side above the fenders.
heres before and after fender lowering-
