While I understand your thoughts... I absolutely LOVE the sound of a loud engine. It is music to my ears to hear that power. Especially if the engine has a supercharger to give it the whine as well.

That being said I realize I am in the minority, so I have no problem putting on my mufflers and am also willing to go the step further and pay to have switchable exhaust put in. This would be great so when I am offshore I can pull the mufflers and have straight hull exhaust and not bother anyone.
