You could possibly install another muffler insert. It depends on what you have now.

I need a tire for my car.. what kind of car you have... i don`t know, I think it`s silver.
|
LOL ^^^^^^^^...............pretty soon the engines wont be able to breath
|
I use the GGB inserts (4" dia and 5.5" long, 'performance' model insert which means slightly larger internal ring diameter).....They dropped my exhaust noise by 6 dB at idle using but this was on a warmed over small block. I've found them to be non-restrictive compared to some other inserts I've used.

You may want to run it on a hose and see if you can get more timing in it at idle might get it where it passes noise meter. If so get a ignition box you can program with a map sensor. My boat idles at 45* timing with the standard cylinder heads it calms it down a bunch on the noise.

idel,s at 45 deg,why?
|
It's already been mentioned, but slip in mufflers are easy...
Or if you only need a couple DB -- why not some external flappers, that should help a little? How are they measuring you? 1 meter back, and 1 meter up from the transom? |
If you don't already have them, try some of rubber flappers. At idle it will direct the sound downward toward the water and may help you pass. Might be worth a shot.

Did it on my engines it calms them down and makes the exhaust non ear piercing. |
I went in where my overboard water bungs were, took out the fitting and drilled a 3/8" hole into the inner exhaust pipe (was about a foot from the exit). injection of the water dispersed the sound and made it a lot quieter without restricting the exhaust any more than necessary.
