Stock Exhaust Note Captured with External Mic
In preparation for my downpipes going in on Tuesday, I thought I would capture some quality audio footage of the stock exhaust setup. My Go Pro Hero 3 Black edition was mounted inside the car and I utilized an external mic mounted to the rear diffuser to capture the sound.
I have heard externally mounted Go Pro videos and the sound was just not crisp. This setup allows me to capture the S55 exhaust note in its purest form, for a stock exhaust I must admit, it sounds pretty incredible. Next up will be a comparison of the stock setup with my ER Catless downpipes and stock rear section. Enjoy.

Nice video! Valves open, the stock exhaust really does sound great imo. Just needs a minute or so to warm up.

Yes that's brutal for a stock exhaust!

That sounds mental! Makes me wonder why people spend thousands changing it to be honest!
So even if you don't do the valve mod, it sounds like that on WOT anyways?? |

i agree, i think the stock exhaust sounds good 80% of the time, for me that 20% isn't worth $3,000+
if i do any mods it would be downpipes first

Great work capturing the sound so cleanly. I've always like it, now after hearing this, even more so. So hard to tell unless you are running side by side with another f80/2. Nice job OP!

thanks for the video, reminded me again how amazing the stock exhaust sounds.....very hard for me to justify $4k + on anything that will sound better than that for the cost.
One question since were all on the same page, please don't tell me to search.....when is the exhaust valve open? In sport plus, i understand it always is. What about "efficient" is it ever open in that mode when warmed up etc? What about "sport"? Thank you |

Nicely done can you share your setup? What mike did you use where exactly was it mounted? Did you run the wire through the trunk? Am looking to soup mine for ED.
Thanks.
