1990 bayliner capri with 120 hp l force drive

[JMyro]

I recently bought a 1990 bayliner capri with a 120 hp L force drive 2 stroke. I have always loved watersports and have been around boats my whole life. I know how to drive them but that is it. I have been using it for about a month with no problems but now it seems to run really loud. I have looked around the engine compartment to see if the exhaust system had come apart but nothing I can see is loose. any ideas on why it is louder all of the sudden?

#4's a solid pipe.NLA
Is it louder outside the boat or in?
Does it smoke under the hood?
The #7 is ridiculously expensive over $225
The others can be had at a good marine store.They can cut it from a bigger hose.
Can't find it? Cobe Marine,www . cobemarine . com remove the spaces.

It is loud outside. I was at the other end of the lake and family was telling me how loud it sounded. I also noticed it while I was driving. It smokes out the back under the boat. Thank you!
