Default Water pipes?

Is there a pipe to put on the stock Rio so the exhaust goes into the water like a full size? I want that bubbling sound like on a full size.. plus the smoke coming out of the water like the real deal..

Seems like the noise would be reduced as well.... I'll be running at state camp grounds and that would be a benefit(noise reduction

It can be done as it does help in lowering the dB's a little and artificially shortens pipe length. It's not going to sound like a Chris-Craft though.

Well not a chris craft yeah, but if it will sound like my dad's 5 HP Evinrude, then that would be great, lol

Artificially shorten pipe length?? huh?

It'lll probably sound like me blowing bubbles into my milkshake via straw...

What about just tapping exhaust for a hose from cooling system? Might not be as cool as exiting under water but will probably help quiet it down a little.
