It's just more thoughtless behavior from the ego challenged "look at
me" crowd. There's no reason at all why a pair of 454s has to be
louder than any other well mannered I/O except that the owners prefer
it that way.

Im not sure I agree...

First, a less restictive (louder) exhaust is in fact a performance
enhancment.

And not "all" high-performance boaters are "look at me" people. I have been
building high-performance boat engines for years, and do more so for R&D,
than fun and thrills.

Thus why I go out at the least busy times.

Take care.

Yeah, but I'll bet you don't start your lawn mower at 7:00 AM, right? If
you come home late, when the whole neighborhood's lights are out, I'd guess
that you lean on your horn as a way of saying hello as you pull into the
driveway. If your car's exhaust develops a leak and gets really loud, but
you can't get to the mechanic for a couple of days, do you try and adjust
your driving needs so as not to **** off the whole neighborhood? Maybe knock
on your neighbor's door and say "Hey...sorry about the noise, it'll be fixed
on Thursday"?

There's a breed of people who just don't get it. Those are the ones we're
talking about here.
