Really bad exhaust fumes from Stainless exhaust tips

There were some STEs that were straight, I thought I remembered the thread from a while back, Maybe some of the confusion? Or lack of good info!!!!

I have the STE's on my boat (not the turn downs) and when surfing, the exhaust fumes/smoke is really bad. It is the worst I have ever experienced behind any boat from any brand. I have never noticed it behind anyone elses boats with regular flappers. I am thinking about trying some 90 degree rubber plumbing elbows(similar effect to turn downs) to see if it will help. I will switch to turn downs if that is the answer, but doubt that little 45 degree turn would make that much difference. Anyone else experience this with STE's?

I had the same exhaust you have went to the turn down to me the fumes were the same but not as bad as what it sounds that you have. I think you have another problem. The turn down helped the sound by about 20%. I upgraded this year to FAE wish I would have done that the first time. Its worth the money.
