Top Speed released a new CBE!

Cans look really low, most likely from your coilovers. You think you could measure for us? What would the clearance be at stock height?

To be honest, I was put off by the sound in the first moments of the video, but was pleasantly surprised when it opened up, it sounded good.

it's 2.5 inches and my car is slammed. it sounds way better in person. the gopro case covers up the microphone.

If you can get a stereo mic, even a cheap $16 one, plug that into the gopro's mic port, you'll get amazing sound quality instead of the carp built in mic, even without the cover it's terrible.

the problem is there's not a spot to plug in the microphone on the case.. unless i drill a hole on the case.

That doesn't sound like a very good design, i've not heard of other people with that problem, is there a different case type? Do you need to run it with the case? i understood that it's a wind shield case to help the mic, if you run an external mic, it's not required.

yes i need the case to mount the camera. it's the vibration between the case and the camera too i think.

I see, then yes, as mentioned by someone else, you need the skeleton case.

However, i do know that gopro mics are crap regardless of a case.

Check this out for an example:

GOPRO vs Audio Technica Pro24CM - YouTube

This one is an ear opener when he disconnets the external mic at the end of the vid.

If this shows decent dyno numbers ..im all over this...my intention has always been FI, but this looks to be a pretty good exhaust for low cost
