Try this, looks funky, but it works. 4" ss tailpipes, custom fab. Keeps the exhaust between the drives and pointed downward.
GK

I am surprised that a fountain with that stock package would be over 90. Especially with the swim platform and the resulting fountain rumble.

Any one got a meter so I guy can test himself before the wp does?
Trav owns one,you know he will help you. I already told him it was you.

They've been testing boats with their db meter for quite a while...I got my ticket back in 2007 on LOTO....$125.00 and off the lake until I got my slip in muffler's installed...
Fountain4Play - What do you mean by 'off the lake'? Was that because you didn't want another ticket, or were your boating privaleges legally taken away due to unlawful equipment (noise)?

well i know i am screwed. i am louder than every baja and all fountains even with 500hp's people cmment all the time telling me i sound twice as loud from the beach as anyone else with a single engine. I do not have captains call and i have those huge gil risers that only have about 4 inches of rubber hose before they meet the transom. do they check you for alchol also at that time?

You give the MSWP any reason to pull you over, including noise, and you can bet they will ask you to submit to a sobriety test if they suspect or know you have been drinking.
