FAE on the 6.2 Raptor

[mattsask]

I'm strongly considering adding an FAE on my craz over the winter. I've been told by a few people, including my dealer, that FAE isn't really needed with these new engines. My primary reason to add it is for noise reduction and I know it does make a huge difference on the older boats.
I'm looking for some feedback from the guys who have added it to this raptor engine. Was there a big improvement in noise reduction? Would you do it again?

If Larry has it figured out for your boat...

DO IT DO IT DO IT.

Him and I went thru 5 versions for my SE, so I got to experience back to back days/weekends with and without it, I was so happy when we finally got it right. Absolutely worth it. I know of a Mojo that has one waiting to be installed, hoping to find out shortly if it is dialed in and fits 1st go around soon.

That's encouraging. I've read a few other guys reporting only 10-20% noise reduction on the newer boats.

I'd love to see the noise charts they base those % off of! I'll say this, I noticed the Raptor being quieter initially when weighted and was impressed, but when sacked out it roars.

Too funny. I can see someone hanging off the back of the boat with the latest iPhone dB Meter App. Official data!!

The same guys were saying that the engine noise inside the boat is louder. Some suggested that the OHC makes the engine noise inside the boat louder which made the effects of the FAE less noticeable. I don't know how much truth there is to this theory though.

Alright Kyle, let us know how it goes. You're my guinea pig.

When we put the FAE on our LSV my wife looked at the box and said "why did you spend money on that?" A few weeks in she said "start saving now, because I don't ever want another boat without one"

The dealer said the same thing as others have mentioned.. "with these new engines, you don't need one of those things" My response was, "have you ever been in a boat with one?" They responded "no". I then told him "until you have, your opinion on this doesn't count"
