quick exhaust video testing a directional mic.

DaveManM3 · 08-08-2012, 06:00 PM

We all know the standard mic on GoPro cameras suck so I picked up a directional mic on amazon to play with. It works nice given that you can place the camera almost anywhere and still get great exhaust audio in almost any video.

whats that exhaust u got on sounds gd

DaveManM3 · 08-09-2012, 10:40 PM

The exhaust is a Megan Racing Ti with a Fabspeed secondary cat delete x-pipe with resonator. Its pretty loud according to my neighbors.....who live on the other side of the community.

I want to go full cat delete with some QTP cutouts for the rare occasion when it just isnt quite loud enough.

Something along these lines.

so easy to get around it in va with an m3 lol. the x pipe is bolt on and off. get a cat less x pipe and in 2 years bolt on the stock x pipe to pass emissions.

Sounds pretty good. I like the lack of wind noise. Any details on the mic?

Ebay for the mic and Radio Shack for the needed 1.5mm mic extension cables

I didn't want to drop too much on it as it will potentially be exposed to the elements at times.
