I've got an 02 Tahoe with a 5.0 merc, what all would I need to put together my own thru hull kit? Is there just the one block off plate for the factory exhaust? Help would be appreciated thanks!

Im not sure what you need to make it work but I have the captains call switchable exhaust and I can tell you the loud exhaust gets annoying really quick when riding and driving the boat.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,..... It'll depend on how Handy ya are, whatcha got for resources, 'n how much Boat is in yer way,....

You can cap both sides of the y-pipe, or pull the motor, then the y-pipe, 'n cap the single hole in the transom assembly,.....

Ya gotta measure the ends of the risers to see what size pipes ya need,....

Then figure out the runs, 'n angles to get 'round all the junk in the boat to get out,....

I put thru-hulls on my barge 16 years ago, 'n spent 10 of those years tryin' to Quiet it down, startin' after the 1st hour of 'em,..... :rolleyes:
'n I can tell ya,... the Only way to Quiet 'em down, 'n only at low speed, or sittin' at the dock,....
Is to get the tips 'bout 1/2 a foot, Underwater,.....

If yer state has noise tests, you'll be payin' the tickets,......
