Geurk
I am originally from Lexington, I used to live off of Tates Creek road!!! I don't have a 350 Mag, I have a 496 mag and man I'm telling you it sounds great. I would not want open headers all the time but to be able to open it up every once in a while is awesome.

A couple of weeks ago we had a nice 70 deg day so the Admiral and I took our new to us boat out for the first time. WOW what an awesome boat. But back to my point, we pulled up to the dock and it was surrounded by 4 boats tied up and getting ready, waiting on their drivers, loading ice chests or whatever. I waited about 5 minutes, floating 20-30 foot away from the dock, well it seemed to me like no one was going anywhere in a hurry. So I wait and wait, well I reach down and throw the switch to open up the exhaust, everyone on the boats look up like whoa.:wow: Within 2 minutes the dock was completely clear, I was thinking yeah, that helped to get noticed.
I waved thank you and silenced the pipes. It was a guy thing I think.:grin:

 

That is amazing! My backyard sits on Tates Creek road, out past Man O' War. Its a small world.

We saw a 250 Select EX last year at Lexington's Aquapalooza out at Herrington Lake. It had a 496 Mag with Corsa, and wow, what a sound. The entire marina rumbled. They would randomly crank the engine every 20-30 minutes just to impress the guests.

Do you trailer your 270 or do you have a slip?

The "guests" may have been impressed, but what about all the other people at the marina??:smt013

 

I just bought it a few months ago so I haven't had a chance to do much yet.

In years past with my 220 SD I would slip it. The weekend after I bought this one I ran down to see what was available for slips and I couldn't resist renting a slip just feet away from the restaurant and store. So I went ahead and rented it at Lake Mead marina.

I usually slip my boat from late March early April - September. Should be getting those 80 deg days in the next couple of weeks.:smt038

 

Nice to see you Geurk!!!!

 

I agree with Bridog! If you come into my marina or cove and rev the motor with the corsa open I might have to look into this thread. :grin:

Personally I hate it when the loud boats go tearing up the river! I go out in the boat to relax and enjoy the enviroment. Loud boats are not relaxing!

In all the posts I have read, you always seemed like such a mellow guy.:grin: Cease fire.........:smt021

 

Great to be back First Born! Its been a long winter with a lot of work to be done at the office. I just haven't had the time to hit the forums for a few months, but with boating season coming back on us, I figured I had to get back into the swing of things.

I agree that thru hull boat exhaust can be annoying under certain circumstances, but in just as many I would say that there are benefits as well. To each his own. Thats why I am getting Captains Call so I can decide for myself on when its appropriate... and maybe even a few times when it isn't...

 

You mentioned Herrington above and LC in the past. What do you think that exhaust will sound like in one of those rock wall canyons?

 

I didn't even think of that. It will sound *awesome* in those canyons.

Seriously though, if I am in one of those coves by myself, you could probably bet I will have my exhaust open and I'll maybe even give it a few extra revs. But if the cove was full of people I would of course be closing the exhaust well before idling my way into the crowd.

A lot of us have very different boats, very different tastes, and very different views on relaxation. A relaxing day for me is jumping some wake on my jet ski behind my loud boat full of my 4 loud kids. For us thats just another day at the lake. That is what makes boating so pleasurable, is there are just a bunch of cool people out there making their own good times.

 

Hmm, I just might have a sound clip of mine laying around somewhere. Ill have to look.

 

I took some vid of it this weekend. After I grab a firewire cable from the store I'll encode the clip and put it somewhere for all to see. The corsa is a unique sound and very throaty with a lot of low frequency sound. It sounds incredible on a 350 mag, and even more so on a 496 mag big block.

 

Here are some pics from this past weekend that show the corsa installed. I will get some closeup ones with it on the trailer this weekend.

The lakes around here have VERY strict noise ordinances, being that there are homes on the lakes up and down, and nature preserves and town parks everywhere else.

I have heard of several boaters being ticketed and asked to leave the lake, but I dont think they had a "captains call" exhaust.

Personally, I dont like it. It's kind of annoying to hear an engine blasting. But I wouldnt tell anyone else not to have one if they want to garner attention to themselves for whatever "compensating" macho reasons. :grin:


hehe...sorry, just a wise arse today. I rarely drink coffee in the afternoon, now I know why. Wheeeeeeeeee!

 

I don't need to compensate with anything, nor to anyone. I have a satisfied wife with 4 kids, whats left to say? My boat, my ski, my other toys, are bought and mod'ed for my entertainment, not for anyone else. What other people thought of my exhaust played zero part in my decision making process. In fact, the only negative remarks and comments I've received regarding my exhaust has been on CSR (a *boating* forum). Retarded.

Luckily our lakes around here aren't tight asses. Just the crowd that the Cumberland Poker Run draws shows that I'm not the only one interested in hearing the great sound of a boat engine.

PS: Get yourself another cup of coffee!

 

:grin: I was joking around in my last couple of sentences.

However, most people arent going to tell you it annoys them to your face. I would, but most people wouldnt, thus why the internet allows for discord more so than real life.

 

Cool pics, waiting to hear/see the video.

 

Geurk,

Nicely put.

The Corsa is one of the main reasons I ordered a 250 SLX. I can't wait to open it up on Lake Michigan.

That's awesome. I love it. Some people don't like noise, like some folks don't like cruisers! I notice this board is mostly, not completely but mostly older cruiser folks. Which is fine, I guess that is why they have different discussion forums (Sport Boats) so we can talk about what interests us.

 

I have to say I love the Corsa on my 270 Select SLX with the 496 HO - given my boat is docked behind my home it certainly gets the neighbours up on a Saturday morning, it is my payback for my )(*&^% neighbour with the leaf blower.

 

Geurk / 'Nice Aft' I love It!!! Something about a yellow boat I like ALOT hell I'm one of the older guy on the form with a 34ftS>R>

 

Thanks guys! I encoded some video last night and will post it on youtube this evening.

250SLX: If I would have heard the Corsa exhaust before I bought my boats, I would not have them any other way. Definitely a consideration on any future boat for me.

270Wakeboarder: I agree. I personally would hate to sink a few hundred dollars worth of gas into something that goes 35-40mph. But of course that is just my opinion. Just like I personally wouldn't buy a pontoon, but definitely see their advantages to those that love them.

Caymancanuck: If I attend the TN rendezvous it looks like I've already been commissioned to do the same thing for a wakeup call.

Hoo'sdave: Thanks! Yellow sold me on both of my boat purchases. In fact, after my 200 sport, I told the dealer the 220 select had to be yellow or no deal. I'll post pics after a good wax, and you'll see to this day, the yellow gelcoat looks brand new.

 

Nice looking boat Geurk, I've never seen /heard a Corsa close up, but looking at your pics, I'm curious, how do they keep water out of the exhaust port? Does the exhaust go up from the motor, and then down to the exhaust port on the side?

I guess it's time for me to take a trip up to my Sea Ray dealer, and see one up close if he has one. (it's a 50 mile trip, but I have some other stuff to do up near him too.)

For some reason my video playback is messed up on youtube, but the audio was fine. So, instead, I just through it on my web server.

Its 25mb so for anyone without broadband I apologize.

Corsa Exhaust on Nice Aft

 

Geurk,

Great looking boat. If you dont mind, what did it end up costing for parts/labor? This is a mod I wouldnt mind having even though I only have the 5.7 EFI.
Can you send me a PM?

 

Great video! Nice sound to that!

 

geurk,

Did you need to put different manifolds/risers on when adding the Corsa exhaust?

BTW, it looks great. I'm sure it sounds incredible!

 

Great sound and video!

Thanks for the Corsa high. It will have to last me until mid-May...:thumbsup:
