Your Car's Exhaust

[Keef]

Do it. Do it.

 

[GT40 MKII]

I love the sound of my 69 Camaro. 40 series Flowmasters custom exhaust I built myself designed after a Lamborghini Murcielago. 2 1/2" before the mufflers then 3" after the mufflers. Could be a little louder but I like it for sure.

This is a pretty good one of me chasing down a brand new EVO. http://www.adfabdesign.com/RaceEvents/Grattan_7-26-08/Grattan_7-26-08_Videos/Joe-lap10-evo-pass.wmv

You can see and hear 31 videos of it from my Grattan 7/26/08 event. The Joe and Aaron ones are the best. http://www.adfabdesign.com/RaceEvents/Grattan_7-26-08/Grattan-7-26-08-videos.html

On the other hand I dont like the way Heathers 67 Fastback mustang sounds at all. Its a 200 straight 6 with no muffler so it sounds like a tractor. We will hopefully be dropping in a V8 302 next year.

i wish my 2004 oldsmobile alero sounded that cool

It'd be nearly pointless to post a video of my neon's exhaust but I could always attempt to record the mustang's exhaust...

Yes, please. I posted a soundclip of my puny Nova's 4A-C. You MUST participate with the Neon.

 

[Blackbird.]

Well here's the mustang's exhaust note... the sound quality isn't the greatest though.

 

[JCE]

QUESTION

Should I even bother recording the exhaust of my minivan?

Well here are the new cherry bombs! Video doesn't do it much justice though, it's much louder in real life.

Mmmmm I love the noise mod motor makes with good exhaust systems (or stock). I demand a good audio quality flyby!

I'll play...

My 1990 300zx
VG30DE (3.0L V6 NA)




My 1993 Twin Turbo 300zx has a busted piston rod

Your Z has some nice grip or were you not trying to power slide?

I demand a flyby!

I love being demanding.

I reiterate: I posted a crappy soundclip of the Nova.

Thanks, and it was doing what I wanted it to do

It is very confident in where it points, I love it.

Here's a proper fly by video of the P71. With a better engine rev at the end of the video.

 

[CDailey]

Very nice!

I think we can safely assume that even though your car shifted into 3rd gear, that no speed limits were possibly doubled, right?

I should do another vid of my car similar to that...Just need to find a place to do it.

There's really not a place around here secluded enough for that.

It's an old country road with no speed limit signs haha. So no.

 

[stumpydino]

iv been trying to find a road to do a flyby, thats quiet enough and big enough or has somewhere to turn around, but usually if ones quiet, its a road with bushes both sides and with a size limit

 

[ND4SPD]

Here's what Vicky sounds like from the inside when driven normally. She's got a nice aggressive hum to her. Epic road as well might I add.

Yummy! Thx.

 

[ND4SPD]

Yummy! Thx.

Thank you. I love how much a difference the cherry bombs have made. The car sounds completely different now. I'm actually thinking of a 2nd rear car delete.

 

[vr6gti72]

not my car but I have a VR6 with a full 2.5" SS Techtonics exhaust w/ Borla muffler and high flow cat.

 

[Eric.]

A friend took a video of me the other day now that I have the Vibrant exhaust. Road was wet...

 

[homeforsummer]

Nice sound, though I might add there's a language warning in the vid

 

[Eric.]

Ah, yeah...completely forgot about that. Not my video and I didn't upload it so nothing I can do.

Tapped the rev limiter in second, which ends up with the front wheels going 56mph.

Sounds great! I love the sound of a nice VR6. I also have a Techtonics exhaust and borla muffler on my G60. I'm thinking about asking my friend to get a video of my car so you guys can hear it.

 

[Thatman]

Okay This is my exhaust no without the stupid presilencers
And for comparing BEFORE
Oh and I got a little $20 decibel meter and apparently at Idle fro like 5 inches away from the exhaust is 108.5 Db

 

[Moglet]

I finally got a decent video of the standard exhaust on the 500!
You have to love Fiat for making a 1.2 sound like this as standard;

 

[Dougboy]

Can anybody suggest a good method of capturing exhaust note on video? I dont really like the typical "put the camera on the ground and rev" way as it doesnt really give a good idea of what it actually sounds like. All engines sound different under load. The typical drive-by's are boring and requires editing.

Any suggestions? Before i go tape a cam to the back of my car again and drive around? (dangerous, i dont wanna rise breaking a camera)

You forgot to tell your friend to stop weed whacking before you started filming.

If your engine is loud enough you could do an in car shot, but if you want a good quality picture you'll need a suction cup mount.

I haven't watched too many videos so I don't know what a typical drive-by is, but here is what I'm planning for when my car is feeling better. My friend is going to stand on the side of the road with his camera on a tripod, then from a decent distance away I'm going to step on it from a stop and fly by him keeping it full pedal for a good distance after I pass him. I don't know about where you live so you might not be able to do this, luckily for me there's a really straight zero traffic road just outside of town where I can make sure it's safe. My car is also loud pretty much anywhere, so I also don't know how good this would be for you. You might want to be closer to the camera when you start than I would be.

Good luck, hope your satisfied with whatever you decided to do.

If you want to get a good video of the exhaust note showing how it sounds from the low to the high RPM's, try to get 2 friends to video tape your car from their car.

A friend & I have done this for another friend's M3 when he was breaking in his new mods, and it's a fantastic way to capture the car up close under load. We did about 3 or 4 different shots with both cars running next to each other & one with the M3 doing a fly-by.

Very easy task wise as long as your car doesn't leave the camera car in the dust, & the camera isn't stuck out the window as well as being a camera, not a phone.

The only difficult task is just getting 2 people to do it. You can't do it with 1 because he has to concentrate on the road as well, so it's easy for them to keep the camera off your car & shaky; might as well have done it yourself.

 

[Moglet]

Find somewhere private and safe, mount the camera safely in the boot and then drive somewhere with the boot open. Obviously it can't be done on public roads though.

 

[Philly]

Maybe find a tunnel and do an in-car shot? That's what I'm thinking of doing with the VW sometime.

1. A good idea! 💡
2. Care to share a link to said M3 vids?

I don't know if there's even a link to begin with.

He asked us to shoot the car as a favor. After we did so, I sent him the videos as requested & then deleted them off the camera. Whether or not he still has them, I don't know. I'd have to ask.
