This might be a stupid question, but Im trying to stay on the cheapest budget that I can. How do I run a dry exhaust? I want to keep over the transom exhaust because the boat doesnt have the holes. I have never had any experience with dry exhaust so any advice is appreciated. Im basically looking for the cheapest exhaust. (I know cheap and boat dont belong together)
-
is it logs with over transom pipes...or headers? if its headers its very simple...plug off the line going to the headers, and plug the water line inlets on the headers....no exhaust leaks, but honestly i would rather run wet headers....what is keeping you from running you over transoms wet? because the cost cant be that bad if you already have the over transom "pipes" the rest is all pretty simple

Besides, burn cream and band aids cost money too :thumbup:
;D

As of right now I have no exhaust. My SJ has only had over transom and I want to keep it like that. Basically I cant find a set of wet headers for a reasonable price. So Im just looking at the options. I would rather have them wet but Im finishing up this boat with shallow pockets. I just never new were the water went if you run dry exhaust.

When it exits the engine, send it thru an over board dump line.
What do you want to spend on Wet Headers? I have a set I would part with, Im sure others do also.
-
basically i would do this....since it is winter time and not alot is going on anyway i would be patient....while being patient it is going to allow me to save some extra money, and 2 it is going to let me find the best deal out there....what kind of motor are you running, and what is your budget?

Im thinking if I can find a pair for $350 or so that will be in the ball park. Im not in a hurry to get a set. They are hard to come by at a reasonable price around Ohio. Nordie has a good point Ill just be patient and keep an eye out. I just wasnt sure how some guys were running the dry exhaust, because I can get those for cheap.

Burns even happen with wet headers, and logs with O/T Pipes. I can show the scars proving it, ;D I call them my Newbie Initiation marks. :screwy:
But Nordie's right, that'll work, but as already said, good, solid wet headers can be had easily with the lines and t-valve for $350, and I've seen them FAR less (bought most I've found when not already sold). Check Craigs list often, can get lucky on EPray as well.
At $350, when do you want them? they are on here all day long for that price. PM Jim Brock, he prollay even has a set for around that. TRy Sitemash. Shows all Ebay and Craigslist listings coast to coast.

I just listed a set of BBC Bassett shorties on here for $350. Put the zoomies on my boat today, a little too low for me but Nordie likes it. I got my new Rewarder Blower headers yesterday too so now I have a header shipping box.
-
They are for a BBC. I have seen them on here before,but usually when I find them its to late and they are sold. It seems that the ones I have seen onEBAY go for way to much. I have found them on craigslist locally but its always the same story, theyre sold. I take a look at your shorties HD.

Go to "BBC shorties" and scroll up for a pic, they're on craigs for $375
