So last fall I purchased an Axis FAE, planned on installing this spring on my 2016 T-23. Because of concerns with factory warranty I decided to let the dealer install it. Figured it was about a 30 minute job, no big deal. The dealer just called and said they can’t install it on the boat while it’s in getting ‘summerised’ because it’s a very involved three or four hour job! 1. If I install it will it void my warranty on the engine? 2. Is this really a 3 to 4 hour job? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I just installed FAE on my 2015 A20 about 3 weeks ago. I would imagine it would be a similar project. If you are in any way handy, you can do it. It’s not hard at all. Follow the directions and take the measurements it tells you to. A couple things I would recommend- 1- remove the swim platform. It’s really easy to do you’ll need someone to help you. It’s heavy for one person 2- don’t forget any of the washers! When you tighten the bolt or nut will easily dig into the metal of the bracket 3- don’t tighten the nylon washers down until you are 100% 4- be careful installing the adapter piece that replaces the flapper. Don’t strip the screws w a drill. Good luck! I’d guess you can do it w 3-4 beers and 2-3 hrs. Attachment: IMG_0037.jpg [ 316.29 KiB | Viewed 34365 times ] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have noticed a slight decrease in mileage. Doesn’t affect our lake days. I can still make it on a tank for a full day of boarding and 6-10 adults in the boat. The noise reduction is fantastic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Does installing it myself do anything to the factory warranty? I have 4 years left and don’t really want to lose coverage over the install. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

On the factory surf pipe option it is removed because of excessive back pressure. |

Do you know if there are any good videos on the muffler removal process? In regards to the warranty. I’m not sure if it would void anything. I would check with Axis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
