Had the pipes tested on the new 380 today. Legal is 87.5db, test is at idle test one 88.2db test two 87.7db. They then average the two and subtract 2db for ambenant noise. So it was a pass bearly. First fine $175, second time is boat impoundment until you arrange for it to be fixed. If you have silent choice you get two tickets disturbing the peace and disordialy conduct for an intential act.

I've never understood that...isn't that what silent choice is for? Michigan is the same way I think.

Get some turn downs. I actually had a sheriff stop and take a look at mine while beached on the St. Croix River. He thought they were a great idea and thanked me for running them. I don't ever get a second look going through the no-wake zones. The turn downs also help quiet the exhaust on plane by directing the sound down to the water.

I am not even going to get started on how mad the whole db thing makes me, but does anyone know specifically how they are supposed to test in Michigan other than just three feet away 90 db in case I ever have to deal with this? I want to be able to fire back if I have the avenue....

I wonder why they don't pick on bikes, plenty of them exceeding 90db.

We said the same thing last night about the bikes, they don't seem to be getting stopped.

^^^^^^
