Made a thread before about getting new stuff for the car. Well, I got the exhaust installed. Pictures are posted in this thread: New Toys for the Lude Finally!
I did happen to get a soundclip. We used my friend's Olympus digicam that happened to be able to do movie clips with a mic. In the short vid, I revved to about 4k. Maybe I'll get some flyby vids next time.
Sound clip is with AEM CAI, eBay Race Cat (resonated test pipe), and GReddy SP2 exhaust.
It's a .mov file, so you need quicktime player or something.

I think if I had a real digital video camera it might have turned out better. I also think it might have sounded better if I was actually driving with the car under load.

I think also a common mistake is putting the mic too close to the exhaust, and the gas that comes out blows on the microphone, but yeah, I think maybe a really sensitive microphone, or some professional audio equipment helps, but I've seen a vid a couple guys took of a 4th gen with a Fujisubo cat back, and seemed like a regular cam corder / digital cam, sounded fine to me
Yohan: Very nice color!!! How much did it cost you to re-paint the whole car and how long did it take? Can you post a picture of engine bay? I'd like to see how far the body shop was able to reach to paint over the old red. TIA.

yeah, just veering OT here, but I was going to say on another thread you posted in, that's a sexy lookin' ride you got there yohan, post some more pics as you get them.
you guys whored the thread about me ?? awe im touched .. but uhm
I got a greddy SP too .. ITS FRIKKIN LOUD .. I was expecting it to be a bit more subtle but some guys at te last import meet said yea .. its hella loud .. :blush: ... but it looks cool . about the same sound as my past hyame axle back ., but I'm gonna wait for it to settle down a bit with some more miles ...
Have you guys notice it quited down ? .. the above sounds about right at idle .. when air pushes though it without load it kinda is farty but once its going its a mean growl .. .
Hasn't quieted down any for me yet. Probably won't quiet down much for me with my test pipe. I love the sound when I'm punchin' it though. I don't mind the volume, I like it now.
