In all serious though, I know how bad exhaust notes can sound in an audio clip compared to real life. And that did not sound bad all things considered. I don't mind loud, but the note is critical IMO. Nice work :tiphat: Looking forward to your external mic results :tup:

oh god i could only imagine how that video would sound lol

through my headphones it's not toooooo bad but again as you said it's nothing like real life.

i'm still working on figuring out what mic i should buy or where i can get it locally. fun process so far :shakes head: someone told me to go to the gopro forums and my response was "wait.....those are a real thing?" :bowrofl:

I know there are some guys who posted up detailed info on their set up on this forum... I assume you searched the audio forum?

Your neighbors now must really like you. It's a good sign.

Well funny you say that lol the house to the left has been vacant for 10 years since the guy across the road owns it and the people who were living in it passed away. He himself just passed a month ago and knowing the family (multi millionaires and nostalgia freaks) won't sell the property but pass ownership along to his grandson. Now the other set of neighbors to my right and and other ones in front are both in their 70s/80s and can't hear most likely lol

My friend who lives 3/4 to 1 mile away heard my old system with mufflers whenever I start it in the morning lol so I'm guessing now it'll reach 1.5 miles lol

:tup: Sounds good!

That seemed like a very COLD start haha! Would love to hear it when it warms up - I bet you have some decent gains as well if you went back on the dyno-

Nice FP

That garage is semi-heated usually about 55-60 or so in there steady summer or winter (perfect for making my wine lol). It was about 45 degrees outside.

I haven't had a chance to really test it out yet to see if the butt dyno feels and gains or losses yet. Wry soon though.

Yeah, the iPhone sound sucks. :icon17:

Though, we won't get to hear how it really sounds until it's under load.

it's sooo mean lol little "trumpety" maybe? i mean it's very hard to get an idea of what it sounds like since i'm driving and not outside. honestly i never knew what my FI exhaust sounded like on the outside until the end of last summer lol no one ever drives my car but me....except my dad twice. once i let him take it home from a wedding i was in (too samshed) and to drop off at my guys place last week for exhaust mod.

seriously though this exhaust is completely docile at idle and deep. almost sounds like a V8 rumble at idle. but as soon as the revs kiss 3K RPMs it just unleashes the fury of the VQ lol

FPenvy 04-01-2014 07:40 AM

My cf cans are in tact in the garage hanging up. Going to give them a proper cleaning soon. :tup:

FPenvy 04-21-2014 01:45 PM

video update!

here you go. i'm at about :40 seconds in and just after a ferrari 458. to be honest i think mine sounded better when comparing sounds of us getting on it down the road after our rolling out shots.

at 0:47 it sounds like you are going fast but it looks like you are only going 5 mph?

and yes your Z sounded the best by far.

i was going about 3mph lol and maybe only 2200-2700 rpm's. i felt accomplished when the guy with an aventador and 458 was filming ME leaving.

it sounds like i'm doing 120 when i'm just getting up to regular speed (40-60mph) at full throttle and around 1**MPH its screaming and sounds so sweet.

i have been short shifting a lot because of the volume at low speeds around my house. i feel bad for my numbers.....and i think i made a older lady shit herself literally the other day when i downshifted when coming up to a stop sign. oops.

( Click to show/hide )
after getting my new tires put on the other day i did a 140-ish mph rip to test them out and the sound was glorious. :tiphat:

FPenvy 08-14-2014 01:09 PM
