Has anyone installed mufflers on the Californian 34 LRC.
If so, pictures ?

searching the site (centex seem to be a good option) and trying not to reinvent the wheel.

Have been adding sound dampening throughout as well.

thanks

Centek is a good source. Typically in a aftermarket installation an inline muffler fits better than a lift type, both will provide reduction. Also if your exhaust points straight aft and you have a swim platform, adding an extension and directing the exhaust angled out at an aft corner will help a lot.
For insulation, be sure you are using a product with a barrier, if it doesn't weigh much it won't do much.
Gaskets and noise "leaks" that can be treated easily with gaskets or fillers can get you 5-10 Db reduction without a lot of expense

As expensive as exhaust hose is per foot, it is probably really close in price to install a muffler. Running a section of fiberglass tube is an option for that matter but as long as you are adding joints to the run, might as well quiet things down.

Edit: I think I exaggerated.
