We are all working hard to tests these new products at loto. I dont think mercury would be involved with a company that is not competent.JC depending on which muffler you have there are a few items they are working on that can bring you legal. number is on their website. thanks jim
I have the transom mount 9060-PR

My HPIs on twin HP500 (stock) tested at 91.3 dbl... had to be under 91.5 to pass here in Chicago. I passed, but I had hoped the margin would be a little bet better.

I was at Lake Elsinore, Ca. yesterday. I met Bob Kelly from Performance Resources, LLC (out of Laguna Hills, CA.) He manufactures "Zoomers" exhaust mufflers. He said they just won the hotboat shootout when they tested a bunch of mufflers. Give him a call , he may be able to help you. His number is 714-791-7446 or [email protected]
Good luck,
Gerard

Maybe they did better on the bigger motor, those results aren't on the Livorsi site.

The Livorsi Marine mufflers actually slowed the boat down 1mph.
