I just put some tips on the Marauder, which delete the built into the tip resonators, to enhance the sound. I then recorded this audio of it and the GS. The GS has the L-tuned exhaust. Can you tell which is which?

Listen.

Site loads up gibberish. But I think the Marauder would have a more American muscle tone (loud and throaty) to it where as the GS would have the much more hollow luxurious sound but still throaty.
Fix the links and I'll see if I can tell the difference.

Thanks for sharing the clip.

I want to say the Marauder is 1st and the GS 2nd? I think I hear the S/C

Mr Johnson

Argh... I didn't test it with IE. Right click and save-as.. It's a wma file and the server doesn't know that extension. I'll fix it tonight.

Yea that would've been my guess. Like I said throaty loud (Marauder) if that is an S/C that is a loud S/C it's hard to hear over it.

Mr Johnson

What's funny is that somehow the camcorder doesn't do justice to either the low end of the rumble the marauder produces or the L-tuned exhaust. It is all overpowered by the S/C frequencies.

It doesn't sound like that in real life and is certainly much quieter in the cabin, right cHiTwNGS43?

Can you explain the differences when they are both under WOT? How do they sound at speed? Thanks

Mr Johnson

I'm not the greatest with describing sound, though I know what I like when I hear it, but basically the bigger V8 rumbles more at low speed. As the revs come up the Marauder starts to roar but then flattens out around 4K RPM and stays that way without a tone change but slight volume increase to redline. The Lexus is softer in tone at low revs but builds up to more of a turbine like whine getting with the S/C forcing the exhaust louder and higher in pitch as the revs shoot to redline.

I've been told that both cars sound deeper from outside the car and I know the Lexus woofs at startup, just not as growly a woof as the Marauder. I haven't been outside to listen to a fly-by of either of my vehicles. HTH
