I've often joked with my buddies about becoming the establishment I used to hate as I age...
natural process I imagine
anyway I pulled the silent thunder box off my 353 not because it was too quiet but because I slipped my boat, went to the beach often, am an obsessive boat keeper, and the box bottom sitting right at waterline made the transom impossible to clean
Big Corsa's went right on tho and the tone is just right with 425's
now my biggest annoyances are in no particular order:
pickups with straight pipes
Harleys with "the loudest pipes ya got"
and compacts with fart-cans
has anybody ever clued these people in on the fact that you make more power with a well tuned and muffled exhaust?just goes to prove these idiots are all about attention, not performance...
funny how when I was younger you couldn't get thru town with even marginally loud or un-muffled exhaust on a car or bike, now there seems to be no limit on pointless obnoxiouness

My implication was clearly in regards to the street and noise disturbance where we live "BIG DADDY"
ie: the subject of this thread.
don't try to start a fight and make yourself again out to be BMOC where there isn't the need...
and BTW alot of "fast street" cars make passes thru the mufflers
because they understand the concept above
Do you?

My suggestion is to use constraint, consideration and finesse when dealing with complaints from those who might bring negative outcomes to your boating situation. As others said here, learn and know the local noise laws and times and stay within those limits so you can protect your interests.
Beyond that, the GGB mufflers and those from Aqua Power LTD in Florida seem to greatly reduce decibils without reducing power much. Try them, you might actually like the effect more than you might initially think.
