[StartQuote] Were the straight through exhaust pipes on an Elco 80 water cooled? I have heard many folks want to plumb their model cooling water through the transom pipes to 'make it more real' but I didn't know for sure if they did that on the real boats. Also, what was the differrence in sound between the mufflers and straight pipes? As I get ready to build my giant 60" Elco I started thinking about a sound system. There is a very neat commercial unit that even has startup sounds. But would I need to make a 'muffler' for the speaker system? And how often did the boats switch between the straight pipes and the mufflers? Sorry for these simple questions, but this kind of insider info is never discussed in the books. Dave Dave[EndQuote]
