Motor boat sound??

I´ve read quite a few post about cat backs and x-pipes to get some clues what to buy, and almost everyone talks about the motor boat sound at idle and at cruise.
I am really trying to imagine how that sounds, i think i know but i´m not sure.
Can anybody post a soundclip with the motor boat sound?
Thanks!

:chevy :cheers:

Some like the motor boat sound, most don't. In my case I installed the corsa Indy mufflers & got the motor boat sound, hated it. I then bought the corsa x-pipe & got a whole new sound, one I liked :) The point is you can start with just the muffler of your choice, listen to the sound, if you like it your done, if not buy the x-pipe & get a new sound. Everyone has a different opinion of what sounds good to them, thats why we have choices. Different strokes for different folks. :cheers:

Here's a sound clip of my LoudMouths and a clip after headers and x-pipe were added.

Go to your local marina and listen to a boat with thru-transom exhaust. We were at a Corvette event and my wife heard a set of Corsa Indy's. She says " that sounds exactly like our boat " (I had to agree, they sound like crap). I ended up going with the Z06 system and it is exactly what I was looking for. Beware of resonance. It will drive you crazy on the freeway. :cheers:
