Later tonight I will be recording the sound from the first ever '18 Corsa active exhaust.
My buddies car was the one shipped to Corsa for R&D and he has the car back in his possession.
Since it is so hard to get an accurate representation of sound over the internet and to try to give everyone a realistic idea of just how it does sound. Here is our planned setup.
We will be placing both his car and my car side-by-side and recording. How is this going to help me, you say?? The recording will be done using a brand new Canon 80D on a tripod with no adjustments being made other than turning it off and on.
My car is '16 with a Corsa Extreme exhaust and no other mods that will effect the sound. No tune, intake, headers, nothing. Just an Extreme catback. My car has 16k miles on it and the Extreme has been on since around 4k miles. It is not daily driven so the exhaust is not too worn out. His car only has the active exhaust at the moment. No other mods.
What this will allow is for the listener to compare the new exhaust with a good reference point, the Extreme. Which everyone has probably heard by now
This will eliminate the flaws in the equipment being used. It is the closest to an actual real sound test we can provide given our equipment and listening environment.
The plan is to start my car, shut it down, then start his car in each mod and repeating both restarts for each change in his exhaust.
The '18 is owned by @1_slow_orange_5.0
Stay tuned.....
I ran out and picked up a Rode Video Micro mic. This will be much better than the camera mic.
