Zoomies on Daycruiser?

« **on:** May 11, 2009, 09:30:29 PM »

I am looking at redoing my exhaust and I want some advice or input on what I will like or not like if I just run zoomies for exhaust on my boat. I know its gonna be loud! Has anyone done this on something besides a race boat?

You will get tired of it real fast on a cruiser boat. My .02

I wanna see THAT!

Don't think it's a good idea, but still wanna see it!

My kids like to wear shooting muffs when they have to ride in the rear seats (On the sides of the engine cover) in My mini-day, and it has logs, snails and TT tips. It's still THAT loud at speed, well, it's whopping 48 MPH! (I'm working on it, guys!)

Not to mention zoomies are purpose built.

Dont know what i want but I do know that I either need to get higher snails,fewe folks on my boat or go over transom. I just dont like my exhaust going underwater and i cant affor through transom jacketed exhaust!

Zoomies will blow everyones ears out and now one will want to ride in the boat.

so whats wrong with your exhaust being under water? just dont like the sound or are you getting water in your logs past the snails?

if its a water issue, get some flappers. if your internal flappers keep blowing off, get some that wrap over the exhaust tips like this

i wouldnt put zoomies on a cruiser....yeah, they look cool, but they are purpose as previously stated, for blown applications.

Dumb question.....Have you ever heard a boat run with Zoomies? $:-\$

Sounds like hell punching you in the head

I love it when hell punches me in the head....at really short intervals

I wanted to run some zoomies, but I thought about the kids and the fact that I aint running a blower.

Well theres your problem, get a damn blower

i love zoomies, i even found a set for olds 455. i thought about getting them for my day cruiser.... then i realized how bad it would be for the family. i'm thinking about getting a set for the southwind when it gets running, but not for the cruizer

anybody seen a blower manifold for a 455 laying around anywhere

I know, I know....get a new motor

I will as soon as the wifey takes the kung-fu grip off the wallet

Isn't that the surest way of getting a new motor - putting a blower on an olds?

« **Reply #13 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:53:07 PM »

Blower on an Olds huh? Hmmmmmmm . . .

« **Reply #14 on:** May 19, 2009, 10:16:28 PM »

Can be done, but Why?

If you're gonna go to that extreme, drop a BBF or (Dare I say it) a BBC to do so, much cheaper?

I don't know if you have a covered engine or not...if you do zoomies or any dry or even injected exaust isn't an option. Like Brad said there is nothing wrong with the tips being in the water at idle, it keeps the noise police out of your hair too. Are you having water in oil issues?? If so turn up the idle, or consider the water may be coming from elsewhere. I like loud as much as the next guy, but the one time I ran my dry headers without the collecters on.....we're talking ear-ringing loud..maybe I'm just gettin old.

I just want a bit more volume on my exhaust. I have snails and underwater exhaust and I want to hear it.

« **Reply #18 on:** May 25, 2009, 09:39:00 AM »

I'd look into some tt bassets, unless you have an enclosed engine compartment. In that case you'll have to go with something that is jacketed.

Country, it sounds like you don't have the boat you really want.

Hot Loud and Wet, and on a NA motor it (your engine) will fall on its Butt , If you want to go with a nice cuiser system go with these types of center rize and 4" Tips we sell Easy to install and will handle 750 hp and they sound bitchen Tom ................Hot Loud and Wet hmmmmm sounds like a Girl I knew !
