Why would you want one??? They sound like a fart in a beer can! I love my 4.3, but I know I would hate it if it had though hull exhaust. Save everyone else on the water and abort your mission!!!

Around here they are banned from a lot of lakes. Gives boaters a bad name to the non boating public who are trying to close up launches and access to some lakes.

Don't do it. But if you do, just buy thru hull fittings and flappers and some hose. You may need to get new elbows 90 instead of 180s. Then you get to cut holes in your transom. Can you feel good about doing that?

Most stock 4.3's make an obnoxious drone when heading away from a listener, even at half a mile away. Thru-hulls will only make it louder. There's no noticeable gain in power or performance.
But if you're still determined to experiment, Google "Gil Marine".

Ayuh,... There's No Kits, you buy the parts, then put it together....

Btw,... A V6 on straight pipes sounds like a Cessna 152 at 3000',.... Sorta like a droning fart....

Idling on a hose backed up to a fence is one thing, the sound out on the water on plane at rpm, and under load is completely different.
