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

Any one got a meter so I guy can test himself before the wp does?

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.

I see some commented, but I have to add my $.02 (now worth $.01)

I don't know where you boat, but on Lake Minnetonka, MN, you have to Count On Them Doing a Complete Safety Inspection Including Alcohol check, not some of the time, but ALL OF THE TIME. My boat has had NO Alcohol on it since July 17, 2004. I don't want to talk about July 16.

Off Shore boats (like the red Porsche in the left lane) are just too tempting to the WP.
