fresh air exhaust on a tige

hey i am just wondering if i can put one of these on the tige with the wakeplate and all being back there. i am pretty sure that the pictures on the website are of this exact setup but i would love to hear if anyone has any personal experience with the system. how much does it help?

The guy that builds them owns (or owned) a Tige'. Should answer your question.

i had a customre that installed one on his 07 22ve

that's cool thanks. does anyone have any opinions about it's effects on riding? does it do what is claimed?

Yes, you can put one on your Tige. I put one on my 06 22Ve this past Spring. Dr Mann does them for each boat based on your measurements.

We have found no adverse effects during boarding or surfing.

The greatest benefit, IMO, was the noise reduction, and 2nd would be the redirection of the CO {Carbon Monoxide}. Although you cant smell the deadly CO, I've noticed a lack of other gas Odors, produced during normal combustion, while surfing, which tells me it's doing it's job.

Not mine, but a couple of pics on one installed on a 24V

i luv mine too

It is the best money I invested in my stereo as well. The music is more clear without the roar of the engine in the way when surfing or boarding. I think I lost 1-2 MPH on my top end, a trade I am very happy to make.

When I get a new boat, it will be one of the first things to go on it.

Chpthril, Can you post those pics on WW, I dont feel like joining every wake forum out there just to view pics, thanks. Or if anyone else has any. Thanks.

Best money I have spent on my boat also. Lost 1 -2 mph also. Talltigeguy and myself have the same boat. Here are a few pics

sweet. thanks.

Thanks Xp, you rock.

Sorry Jason, forgot it wont let you view pics with out signing up.

thanks dudes. i am sold. can't wait to get it.

Can someone post the website for this product?

www.boatpipes.com this should get you there

So it appears that if you have a fiberglass swim platform, you have to add a piece of cross bracing to attach the two support rods?

Thats what I originally thought, but, I believe that is the taps(aka wakeplate) hydrolic I believe.
Not sure on how secure, and strong this setup is. First time seeing this idea.

You need to add the square cross brace to the swim platform braces. Then you attach the support rods to the cross bracing. It is actually very solid. No problems at all with the setup. We have done several group buys on tigeowners.com and so far everyone has been happy with the results

The crossbar is also used on teak platforms. The braces run from the corners where the two pipes bend to form the T up to the crossbar. This supports the unit from the force of water trying to lever it off the exhaust flanges.
I have one on my Sanger with plate and know it was the best change I did on the boat.

Rats, xpjim1 beat me to it.

Everything you need comes in the box.......I think the even throw in a little 5200 for reinstalling the exhaust flange screws.

Howard, I see what you were saying now.....forget my other post.

I have been looking @ these for a while now. Any one doing a group buyanytime soon that maybe I can get in on.

Raging, seeing as how you don't have a picture on your profile I'll give you this one of my daughter's raging gerbil.

Hey Tate - Dr. Mann was having a sale (something like $50 off) during November... You may want to hit him up and see what you can get... I bought mine 2 weeks ago and I love it... I've had the boat out twice and it's unbelievable...

thanks art. 'twill be utilized. thanks again everyone for the response.

Who's Dr. Mann? Is there a website?

Once again www.boatpipes.com

I have had the fresh air exhaust on my '02 xstar for about a season and a half. It is the shizz. It quiets the boat down-stereo doesn't have to be as loud. No more exhaust smell. The down side is that sometimes I forget the boat is running (so quiet) and turn the key to hear the grind of the starter engaging an engine that is already running!

The only issue I have had with it is it caused water to shoot up between the swim platform. I tried tilting it back as Larry Mann suggested but it continued. I remedied the problem with a piece of plexiglass attached to the top of the fresh air exhaust. No complaints now. We love it!

I just place my order - they are running special discount of $50 right now. Got mine for $337 plus shipping.

The guy that answered the phone called himself Dr. Mann. I assume he must be the owner.
