Default exhaust noise

On my 2000 when the exhaust(corsa) gets hot at idle at a stop light I get this almost inboard boat motor sound occasionally. Does anyone know what this could be? This is my first C-5. Thanks for your help.

Is there a possibility that it just might need tightening? It sounds like there is a little rattling noise when you rev up the motor. Thanks guys.

You could have baffles that are blown/torn up inside the actual mufflers
themselves.. Just a thought

Installing an X-pipe in place of the H-pipe will significantly reduce the motor boat sound but not completely eliminate it.
I agree, I have an 2002 with the same issue.

My 2002 does the same thing when it gets Hot and at idle. Nothing to worry about, just the way it is. I heard noise with stock exhaust, put Borla Atak on, still hear noise.
