Why did nordic put the exhaust on the sides of the boat? What does it sound like?

My friend has a nordic with the exhaust like that. I personally think it sounds good. Not as loud i think because it doesn't echo as much. Correct me if im wrong....

I was told at the LA boatshow that they put them on the side now so as to comply with the new noise laws. It is now under water or at least partially so. He told me that they were quite a bit below 88db now.

I think in 2004 they put them there. 2003's did still have the under the swimstep echo chamber exhaust.
I really don't think their intent was to comply with the noise laws, but to change up the design and look. Personally, it looks better to me.
Look at the bathtub ring around that boat and you'll see that the exhaust is underwater. Shouldn't be a problem at idle.

I like it. It looks really clean coming out the back like that. I still love the sound of a big block exhaust coming out under the swim step though. Fuggin noises laws suck. :hammer2: :rolleyes:
