While I didn’t have a way to do a side-by-side comparison nor did I use a dB better, I really felt that the Malibu tips I used made the boat sound a lot less aggressive and smoothed out the exhaust note a bit. It’s hard to tell in your video but despite the similar meter reading, do you think it helped the perceived sound at all, or no?
What do the MC tips you used have for baffles.. any pics? Curious how they compare.
