Cig Top Gun Noise reduction?
Hi guys,
The top gun was taken out the first time in australia today. It was unbelievable fun. The water was about 4-5 ft chop and the hull just carved through it.
The unique paint job had everybody staring at it.
As you guys know i've had a million dramas with bringing it in and today I discovered a new one.
The engines were absolutely roaring...and I have been warned by a tonne of people especially at the marina that water police will pull my boat off the water for noise pollution.
Infact my dads been in boat building for 40 years building 100mph jet boats and he went to the pier to see it and said he'd never heard a boat as loud in his life and said the cops will get it.
What do you do to make them quieter? I've seen pics of cigs with mufflers on the exhausts.
Where do you get them? How do they cost? How much will the noise be reduced? Are they hard to install? Will I loose much power?
Thanks fellas and thanks again

Hi Tank,
Are those the pipes that actually go down to the water line? I hope not because the look shocking. how do you go in California with your exhausts? Arent the laws for noise pretty harsh there?

I have the capt call exhaust on our cig. but I never use it. They dont sweat us up here. Down in Newport they're pretty strict but it's still not as bad as it sounds out there.
