Fresh Air Exhaust

[xpjim1]

Well it only took 5 months from recieving my Fresh Air Exhaust to installing it. Pretty simple install. Hopefully will go on the water in February to try it out.

I put together a group buy in August and we received 20% off which put the price just below $300. Talltigeguy purchased one then and I was on his boat in November. I saw no issues in steering or wake. The noise difference was incredible. Interior of his boat was quiet where you could carry on a conversation.


I had read mixed reviews on wakeworld, but everyone here on tigeowners seem very positive on it.

Not to threadjack, but I noticed your tie down straps rub on the transom lip like mine do and so I found these neat little pads to put between the strap and the transom. I am not sure how they will work with your ratcheting type tie downs since you feed the strap through little slits to hold the pad on, but they might be worth some thought.

Good idea there. What you do not see are my little towels folded and in between the straps and the transom. Have not lost one yet.

What was involved for the installation? Looks like some hose clamps and thats about it.

It is pretty simple. Putting exhaust flanges on, Hardest part was drilling though the swim step bracket, hollowing out part of the swim deck for two bolt heads. If you are a little off, your swim step bolts will not line back up. I needed to make the holes in the bracket a little larger to give me some play. I also needed to drill 2 new holes for the swimstep in the bracket and swimstep. The last one I forgot to switch to the smaller drill bit in the deck. Could not find anywhere in Havasu that had a 5/16 stainless bolt. I picked one up today, so truly my install is not quite complete.

My swimstep had extra holes drilled in it. Whoever did the install looks like the used only one bracket at first. the hole locations are different in the two brackets. Filled in the extra holes with sealant. I am also going to get the quick release like Nickypoo

You should check out the www.freshairexhaust.com and review the installation instructions

Paul it is me (todd) if you hit the fresh air exhaust you are going to wipe out the prop and rudder. the bottom of the pipe is at the height of the center of the prop.
