Muffler Question

[No Name]

Need some mufflers for a Mercury 525. I was in Havasu for desert storm with no problems. Going back next week for five days and I don't want to have to pull my boat out because I don't have them.
What are some of the best ones ?
How will they effect performance?
Do I really need them in Havasu or will I be ok without them?
Any info would be great.

I have dual engines w/ 4.5 inch CMI's that were dry & WAY LOUD....
I had Jim Wilkes put on The Gibson clamp on style mufflers.. I think they'er called " bullets " ?? ...
** Anyhow, I am quiet now, I dont even get a second look....
:cool: :cool: :cool:

I bought some of thier bullet slip ons, and never had a problem with the local LE, until I took them off. No perfromance loss, great product.

I also have the gibson bullets they work great and i didnt notice any power loss and best of all i installed them myself and i have no mechanical abilities whatsoever

I have the Gattlins on my 525's and its too quiet... I'll be taking them off soon.

I just put my Imco Gatlins on Thur. They are quiet. Good & bad. No power or RPM loss on HP500EFI.

I also have gibbsons on my Wellcraft-nice product. My friend has the GGB's and he loves them. They look very similar and are quiet. No noticable power loss and we can carry-on a conversation in the cockpit without yelling. The wifeys love them and that is what really matters to me :)

Thanks everyone….. Looks like the Gibson’s may be the way to go.
I really like the way the boat sounds without mufflers and really don’t want them but I just don’t want to be looking over my shoulder all the time for LE.
Hate to get caught ridding dirty. :cry: :cry:

Have the Gibson's on mine and they seem to work pretty well.. I hated to loose my sound but did'nt want to be hassled either...

I like the Gibsons as well. Great compromise between silencing, power, and best of all value. I run them under a swim deck (aka echo chamber) with a big motor and pass the marina test no problem.
