Home made FAE fresh air exhaust?

[sivs1]

So you went from the elbows right into the Tee? I didn't have quite enough width to use that Home depot Tee that you have pictured. I had to get a narrower tee and will have to have straight pipe between my elbows and the tee.

But I am going to be going down a similar path...

Yes, the black is basically sewer pipe and the grey is electrical.

Hmm, and the plastic piping doesn't melt or anything?

Anyone made one for a single exhaust outlet? Any reason why I couldn't just make a 90* elbow straight down from the exhausT?

FAE is on my winter mods wishlist...never thought about making my own.

one of the key factors is having the downpipe of the exhaust go into the center of your prop wash. that will provide minimal disruption to your wake and speed. So even with a single outlet, you would need to have it go over to the center and output into the prop wash. Otherwise you'll have the equivalent of a big trim tab on one side if you simply do a downturn.

One thing I noticed on the SS FAE is that the heat from the exhaust dissipates very quickly through the metal. I have checked it a couple of times just to see how hot it would be to the touch. I had to get almost to the exhaust outlet on the boat for it to be too hot to hold. Within 6" of the boat's exhaust it was cool to the touch. There is a huge amount of heat dissipation through the metal.
Hopefully the ABS will be able to stand up to moreheat being that it won't conduct much.

That doesn't sound right. I can comfortably put my hand on the exhaust manifold. If never noticed anything in the water (behind the transom) that is hot.

Trayson, those aren't standard 90's. They are called street 90's. They take less space and one less joint.
Take a look and see if that type will fit.

Someone needs to try to use a pipe pvc pipe bender. It uses heat and you could use it to flatten the downpipe for less resistance, much like the GSA pipe shape.

Now get to modding!

Vent 90's are the tight ones.

Not that I condone what I'm seeing here.

But yes a vent street 90 would work....

Maybe wrapped in vinyl bling it will look ok.
