Seriously, car sounds great.
Thanks!

Yeah I got the optional Skeleton Housing which provides better in-car sound capture than the waterproof housing it comes with. I'll try it with the windows down next time...will be interesting to see how it will sound with significant wind noise.

It even makes the crappy Bose system sound halfway decent

146 Jockey is infamous around these parts
I hear ya Fly. Although, I was asked when the dude came out to install the bluetooth in my car why I needed it. He said if he had a Porsche he wouldn't need the phone or radio to be on, he'd just drive around with the windows down .

Nice to hear what you have though. Just put on the Cargraphic Sports exhaust on mine and also the BMC CAI. Looking forward to getting her back. I think when I youtube'd 'Cargraphic' it came up with your great video.

Yeah, just be careful with that Cargraphic... my previous exhaust (in that video) with Cargraphic mufflers plus headers and 200 cell Cat's was really loud (and kept getting louder)....it was great when going thru tunnels and overpasses but it got to the point where it was so loud I didn't want to drive the car...had to take it off. My neighbor thanked me for that. Point is, I would not add both Headers and Cat's to that exhaust, just one or the other. YMMV.

The FVD that's on now (Headers, X-Pipe 200 Cell Cat's and Brombacher Mufflers) is alot more civilized down low and as you can hear at the end of this video it sounds real business-like when you get on it...it's not overly impressive sounding when revving, shots out of the hole and Tunnels etc but on the flip side, I'm keeping peace in the neighborhood now.

Did you get the suction cup mount?
If so, trust it...
I know it is difficult to trust at first, but it really stays on good.
I've done triple digit speeds with it mounted just in front of the emblem on the hood, zero problems. I just made sure the mounting surface was clean and dry.

I was hoping it wasn't too loud. I bought them off www.carnewal-europe.com. Was originally going to go for his RSR's but ended up with the Cargraphic option. Hopefully the neighbor's won't be woken at 4am when I go to work. I'll report back when I get the car back.

Yes, it came with the suction cup...thanks for the feedback...I was thinking of taping some hole shots with it mounted on the rear license plate frame cover...would have fingers crossed hoping that puppy didn't fall off during mid run...

I'm thinking it would be cool to tape runs with two units (one in-car facing forward and one outside facing the rear)....then do PiP...

Don't forget to mount another one for the footwork/shift/steering angles if you got skillz and wanna show off.
