Wow...i kinda miss that beefy sound without the FAE. I have had mine on so long i almost forgot what it sounded like without it.... but I sitll wouldn't trade it!

Loss of top end? I have a 2003 22V with the 350CI / 315HP motor which I normally use for wakeboarding, but still do some straight line barefooting. I am concerned about losing my top end speed. Loaded and footing we hit 37.5 mph. Dougpaper mentioned that he might have lost 4 mph. What is everyone else's experience with top end speed loss? Thanks.

I am hoping to get out on the water this wkend. If I do I will try to report back if I get 37.5 or a little better. Not a big fan of running that hard but for a short period to test it out for you, I will do it.

Why don't they show one available for the 2002 23v?

Grgh....

Probably just because they haven't made one yet, or confirmed the various measurements. Call them. They will likely have you measure some dimensions for them so that they can fabricate one for you.

X2. In the beginning, they were all custom made until Larry had made enough of one particular boat to feel comfortable with listing them. You should be able to download the worksheet showing how to measure.

I will do exactly that gents!

Thanks!

37.5 no problem at all. Got up to 40 and still had more throttle travel to go.

As are as not having YOUR model listed. As other said, just call. They didn't have mine listed either but they had already had them just hadn't listed it on the website yet for some reason. They just missed it is all.

Embo: Thanks for the speed run. Now I guess I will have to buy a FAE!

Just installed FAE on our 2005 22v. Here is what it sounded like before the install.

And here is what it sounded like after the install. Hope you can here the difference. Our friend rode on the boat before and after. They really noticed a difference.

I tried to get similar vids to make it easy to compare. I think the last part of the vids are the best way to compare the noise or lack there of. I know some like the low growl of the engine but everyone on your boat will really appreciate what you have muffled it down not to mention burying the exhaust fumes in the water and keeping your riders (in and out of the boat) safe.

I would really recommend putting this on your boat if you have been thinking about it. Larry Mann is very helpful in answering any questions you have before, during and after the install.

Sorry for the confustion but I needed to update the links to these vids.
