Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

yeah it does. Wide angle kinda changes perspective a bit compared to normal camera angles.

 

And you should totally move it down, I agree. Maybe get a mount that attaches to passenger headrest somehow? I think that's a thing... might be wrong. Sounds pretty cool. I like that level of volume. I think it's perfect as far as loudness goes, it's not too over the top.

whatever you say m8. Physics is so weird. Lol

 

I would like to see a way to detailed explanation behind this theory though lol

 

but a suspension setup like that with no sway bars is pretty nice. No sway bars is totally the way to go if you're building a race car IMO. maybe just tiny ones for balancing and that's it.

Been wanting to get a better suction mount with a longer arm on it and an external microphone. Gonna look into it some more though

at least you don't have my setup where the windshield doesn't have a roof supporting it so anything you mount to it shakes like crazy lol, so I have to mount cameras behind on the wind-blocker rail thing. Not perfect either but it works.

Yeah I just mount mine to my sunroof. Works fairly well, just needs some more length to it. Maybe something like this?

i like the bottom one more. less joints for movement and the joints that are there are thicker and have locks so less prone to moving/shaking

I think it's the same brand as my current one too, just a bit bigger. Guess I'll be adding that to the purchase list this upcoming weekend

plus it's amazon. If you don't like it then put a UPS return label on it and get a full refund as soon as you drop it off at the UPS store and they scan it in lol

 

in case it doesnt go as planned

Yeah Amazon is always the easiest to RMA to. Even easier than NewEgg from personal experience

Newegg was super easy. I tell them the issue. They look at the warranty, it checks out, they send shipping label, i send part back, 1-2 weeks later I get new part in mail :P

What's more ironic, you saying don't talk about politics after posting a political picture or the picture itself?

either would work. You don't need to the wheels off and you really just need to be able to get under the car.

My only experience when working on exhausts has been with the vehicle on a lift, hoping my car lets the standard exhaust go relatively nicely
