They will have to be remove.
The cheap mufflers that bolts on to the transom pipes are not quiet enough to pass the test.
The Formula 'silent choice' is probably the best in the industry. It is part of the swim platform. Don't know the mechanics behind it but it is not manually switchable so it pass the state test.

Sorry to throw a wrench in your comment but I have the Gibson Clamp on's.. They do get the boat quiet enough but they cost ALOT! well at least I thought they did $650 for a set, not installed, not including shipping..
If I brought this to a marina and asked for them to be put on... well over $1K I am sure.
But the old line you get what you pay for comes to mind.
However just switching them (even though they are clamp ons) is a project and a half.. I had to hammer mine on with a 2x4 and mini sledge hammer.. I don't know if I will ever get them off...
