Noisy Exhaust (very Loud exhaust)

[kc6ape]

Hi,
I have a 2003 Volvo Penta 3.0 GS with SX outdrive ever since I have owned this boat the exhaust noise has been very loud, I got complaints last week while running at the lake! I was told there was a mod to make the engine exhaust quieter, has anyone heard of such a mod?

Thanks
Dave

Here's the service bulletin covering the noise, but it was from 96.

You might want to check to see if you still have an exhaust bellows installed.

Thanks Don, Yep bellows are there, This has been doing it since the boat was brand new, I knew it was loud, but last week was the first time I got a complaint.
