its very driveable. I can still drive pass cops without any issues, you just have to use high gears..hahaha

You won't be able to judge how loud it is due to his intake. It is just as loud or louder.

...the intake is loud, but u can't compare it to the catalyzer+hi power exhaust...

Razz1

Exactly. A DB meter can't tell the differance. It will only measure the total loudness of the car.

you constantly state that the hks intake is louder than the exhaust.

and i am saying it isn't true.

the intakes higher pitch makes you 'think' it's that loud but it's not. and certainly not louder than deedubb's exhaust setup.

point DB meter right next to exhaust, problem solved.

Razz1

No, that will only give you idle and rev. No load condition.

Like in the video the car is under load but you hear both intake and exhaust. Therefore point it at the exhaust won't help.

FINE then, it'll give us a comparison of HKS vs Racing Beat as far as DB is concerned. My car up against Xdeedubbx's.

Razz1

True we can still do comparrisons, just have to realize where the data is comming from.
Data... did I say data? That reminds me of Star Wars... no Star Treck.

I'd like to see the force resist the Borg.

haha, i can already note that the hi-power alone was louder than my supercat+racingbeat setup, because i did the measuring. i need to meet up with bryan and hear this new thing in person.

comparison at the dyno...who kept the order list from our dyno day bak last year? i remember measuring the front (intake) and back (exhaust) of bryan's car and i'm sure the back was louder than the front.

that said, quieter intake will yield lower overall loudness than xdeedubbx's. how much?, little difference because of the difference in dB between intake and exhaust, and...

negligible since this is a soundclip.

I'm thinking I might give it a try... Shouldnt loose too much if I decide I dont like it... and I'm thinking I might make a little money if I choose it and sell my RB (maybe). Only real downside is if it's too loud and I'm stuck with the resonator. How much would I expect to spend on a resonator/install? Very intrigued as to how the resonated supercat + single sounds.

Jon actually wants to shoot some in car footage... soon! Next time we'll have to include Jedi54 too!

Nice! looking forward to seeing'em

XDEEDUBBX

yes we do need an in car video. Maybe I can shoot a crappy one with my shitty point n shoot. btw. the exhaust with mid pipe is way louder than my intake. It's not something a camera can capture, you really have to hear it in person to tell.

XDEEDUBBX

New video uploading right now (not an in car video). =D

XDEEDUBBX

ok new video up..thanks to FE3P for taping..haha

damn, no youtube access at work.

For some reason the new video shows a diff. tone in your car. May be the camera mic angle. Sounds very good going down the street.

XDEEDUBBX

its the videotographers high end 3 mic 2 camera system vs. my 4 year old 3.2 megapixel sony cybershot point n shoot. LOL!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0s0fVuRId0 here's a video of Jon Kuroyama's car. He's the photographer/ Videotographer tuner extraordinaire!! BTW..He just recently sold the car so this is a farewell video of the focus. FYI it's running low boost and still unable to get any kind of traction. WOW

that's a very nice focus... unfortunately I'm not a fan of the focus lol. (his is very nice, but I wouldnt buy it).

In car vid of yours is quite loud (bit more than I expected). Assuming windows were up since there was no wind noise. How did you do the filming (the camera looked rather high, just interested in how you mounted it).

XDEEDUBBX

It was shot with both windows up and down. I forget which part was which. I'm assuming the louder parts are with the windows down. The camera was suctioned from the glass sun roof. In person it's really not that loud but if your comparing with stock it's definetly louder.

btw that focus makes 460 whp.. it may not be your cup of tea but it caters to many. Keep in mind there are a lot of people out there that think the rx8 looks like *** haha
