Has Fresh Air Exhaust (FAE) changed your wake?

Got ya. So your thinking it wont have flow to push the water out? I was concerned about traped water when i pull it ou of the lake but didnt think too much about in the water. It sits at our dock all summer. Lake is still frozen so i can't find out right now but i will follow up.

Don't think it'll stall it or anything bad per se, just might restrict the exhaust giving a little less performance. Also when you pull the baot out that water would be trapped. Add some holes so it can drain.

Good info. Thanks

I dont think it would restrict the exhaust any more than normal since the water in there will be applying the same amount of pressure as would normally be applied by the water pushing the exhaust flaps closed. Your exhaust manifolds already have water flowing through them anyways. I do agree that normally it all drains when the boat is removed from the water and having it turn up like that will cause it to retain water. Might get moldy and stinky.

My thought is that the exhaust will actually flow better due to the venturi effect. The stock exhaust has no restriction when on plane, other than the flaps themselves and the restriction inherent in the exhaust. However, with the flow of water over the FAE, it could actually create a venturi effect, much like aircraft jet pumps.

For anyone wondering my fae worked great. No troubles at all. Still have a little wash on the wakeboard wake but not bad. Sound and fumes def better.

Absolutely nothing that I can see.

Mine has a weep hole drilled in by FAE, right next to the flange where it bolts through the hull.

Mine too. Found that out when I was trying to catch the antifreeze coming out the exhaust. Ended up draining out onto the wake plate and ground. Oops.

Oh damn that should do it! If it comes off now, physics were some how broken.

Question for "Trayson"

how did u make that metal/pvc adapter to your exhaust ?
