'98 GP1200W is Too LOUD!

How or what can I check to make my '98 GP1200W quieter?



I'm just wondering why my exhaust is louder than other jet skis on the lake. Could there have been a baffle/muffler in the pipe or something that was removed by previous "owner"........ Just wondering as I'd like to quiet it down and I am not sure what to check to see why it seems louder than others.

Thanks.rm

I figured what the heck the trailer is worth the 400 to me. The skis are a 1998 and a 2001. Does anyone...

    While changing the spark plugs preparing my ski for this coming season, I noticed corrosion on each plug between the drive hex and the rubber boot attachment area. What could be the cause? Thank you.
