Fog Light Cam testing.

Here's a short clip I made with my Samsung Sports Cam. I'm going to mount it next to the headlight tomorrow and see if I don't get any noise from the wind. I only hit like 2psi, cause I'm still breaking in the motor.

Enjoy.

Sweet!! Get that puppy broke in and show us some kills. Nice compilation. What is your exhaust setup, sounds very good and has a good note to it.

Thanks

Its 3" with a dynomax silencer and a Magnaflow muffler. I'm getting rid of the dynomax and installing another Magnaflow muffler in the middle. It's still a bit to loud for my taste.

I'm running 2 magnaflows with a full 3" system. It's pretty loud with the 1/2 bp. It has always amazed me how much the exhaust turbine wheel quiets down the exhaust noise. What turbo are you running? I'm still trying to decide which one to go for so I can hit 400 hp in street tune, yet keep the purchase price under 1k.

It's a streetport and I've yet to get anywhere near fullbost. It made 179hp at 3psi while street tunning. My goal is 370-400whp at 15psi.

I do have it without music, but you can hardly hear the engine cause of the wind. I'm going to mount it in here and it should block out all the wind noise.

Cool vid, I want to hear the car instead of the music though.

Mounting it in the headlight is a good idea. When you said it was the little handycam I was expecting crappy quality too, but it was much better than I expected.

Is the heat from the head light going to effect the camera?

Exact setup I have and have been recomonding for years now. I'm glad to see someones listening. LOL! I don't think it's loud. THough I did drive around with a RB header and presilencer for 2 months one time. Beautiful car and sweet vid. Oh and what was that song? That was a bad *** song.

nice video ... I like the fish eye effect, also quality is really good. I'm planning on doing something like that when the time comes ... but this is all just final touches.

About the mufflers, are you guys running center to center mufflers or are you using an offset on, also have you guys tried the difference between borla and magnaflow? I remember reading a thread a while back that they did some testing with muffler and the borla was quieter yet was less restrictive than a magnaflow. I'll most likely be doing an offset muffler in the middle setion

I have:
One Centered 3" Magnaflow thru and thru (Oval shapped in center)
One Centered 3" Magnaflow thru and thru (Round shaped in back)

I still think I have one of the quietest turbo rotaries out there. If you listen
to my car off boost, you'd swear it was stock.

It's quieter than most header equipped rotaries.

Mines, the reverse, I have the narrow round one where the cat was. I wasn't sure if the oval would fit there or not.

Sam, the Borla is good choice too and perhaps even quieter. It did wonders on a friend of mine's TII after he installed a 3-1/8" single exhaust system.
