Ok, grabbed a little clip from my mic testing yesterday. This is my friend driving (who loves old muscle cars) for the first time. I was super suprised that all he did was talk about how much he loved it all afternoon after his drive. At the begining you can hear a slight exhaust rattle so I didnt totally eliminate the prob but it was much worse. Thats the only time it made a noise yesterday though. Enjoy.

So you like the mic and positioning under the car? I could not hear the exhaust rattle and the mic sounded excellent. No audible noise/hiss from the mic as others had reported. I take it with this clip the mic was in the cabin? Windows up or down? Stillen CBE sounds great,running stock cats.

Just now repped ya

I should be okay.
Glad you're feeling better!

It was a great drive and almost completely empty! We ended up at Horseshoe Bay, a very nice community on the lake. I was disappointed in the lack of sports cars out there though.

Hope you all had a great, relaxing Sunday. Good night guys!

Nice picture Mr.Alchemy!! The blue really stands out in the pic!!

The only thing... I will suggest... is photochop that white sign above the roof.... cos it makes the composition like something got stucked on the roof...

Hey Steve, speaking of Wayfarers, RayBan have re-introduce the Folding-Wayfarers:

Ms.Pintsize725, my GPS is calculating the route now......

Mr.kenchan, maybe you can pair up the Folding-Wayfarers with the Folding-bike

Mr.onzedge, looks like the train ride was enjoyable, and Mrs. and you definitely look great!!

So today(Sunday) when I finish work, I get to my Z and ready to go home... and I found this on the windshield :





I was going to throw it away as usual but then I saw the word HD WASH and Waterless

I was like for 2 secs then

I can't believe some people @#%$# idiot I say would advertise waterless carwash as "HD carwash"

The waterless carwash spray only costs around $20 and these people are charging people $10/wash... again...

I do waterless ONLY IN Winter because the water tap in the garage is turned off because of cold temperature, and I only consider it as a quick clean....

So... Mr.kenchan, and all of us who does proper car wash, wax and detailing....

We can call our way of car wash:

IMAX 3D WASH!!!!

Thanks, Pint, and the best part is that I don't need a Flu shot now!

Right when we take off in that vid as we are turning around it slightly rattles. Yeah, didnt notice much white noise either Mr. ZForce, the mic is positioned under the rear fog just like in the pics I showed you. Also, Im running test pipes, no cats. The Stillen CBE wasnt near as loud when it still had the stock cats on it.

Thanks Brantly Like I said the mic was mounted under the rear fog Im really pleased with that little mic. Its some of the best 50 bucks Ive ever spent. Def gonna encourage me to shoot with my GoPro more. Didnt use my older one much since the sound quality was so bad. But having this external mic option on the new Hero 2 is AWESOME!!!


GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!
