I installed the VP exhaust bellows as described while in the water. Overall installation time was about 1 hr and besides being a 'blind' installation, I'd say it was more or less straightforward. The exhaust noise is considerably less and I'm very happy with the results... Only wish is I had done this a long time ago!

Bill,

Did you use the part# given by graham? I also have the gxi's on my 328 and have noticed the elevated noise compared to my previous boat. I think i will do this over the off season. Also do the bellows hold ok without the retainer clip on the transom side?

Yes, used the same PN. They seemed to hold fine during the couple of days of use. I think if you tilt the drive all the way up then it might come out. Once I pull the drives for the next service, I'll have them add the clips but wouldn't hesitate doing this. Noise level is a big improvement.
