496 mufflers
I went with CMI headers and mufflers on my 496 mags, to effective! I ended up blocking them open 25% sounds great now! Great sound but not over the top. Wife wasn't to pleased with the modification since the mufflers were her xmass present!

I put a set of Gibsons on my 522. I didn't notice any power loss and keeps me legal when going down the local river. My wife and daughter had me take them off, not loud enough.

A single 496HO should be very close to legal as far as noise anyway. I would just put on a pair of Drew Marine Shotguns.
No loss of power, takes the bark off the noise at idle quite a bit and some at cruise speeds and relatively inexpensive.
