Chip there already is a law that deals with this.... and has been for several years. If your exhaust is believed to be to loud the Marine Patrol, can site you and request that you have your boat tested. There is a documented procedure and test to decide whether or not a boat exhaust is to loud. This includes or at least at last I knew included both an idle reading as well as an open what at speed test. There are others her which may chose to let us know more about what actually goes on......
