its been like forever; and still no video, what happened?

mrtux

yes 2 days have passed. they have time to turn their computer on, log on to the internet, and post they have personal stuff to attend to. they have the time to do that and no time to post a sound clip or something worth while? i.e. dynos? pics? vids? SOUND CLIPS? sorry if i'm getting edgy but IMO they should stop procrastinatin their @$$ and not even post if it's not done.

Jeez guys, I said I had some stuff to take care of. Anyway, here it is. Reduced the res to 320x240 to lower the file size (from 12MB to 5). The file is currently uploading to my server so it might not be playable immediatly after I post this. Just give it 5 minutes or so. This was the first clip taken with a digicam, not vid cam so it's OK'ish. I will be borrowing a good camera for the little recording session we wanna do this weekend though.

Anyways, file is at my server here (right-click and save as preferable)

I had a hectic work week as well as taking care of my fiance after surgery. Alex tried to upload it on his own and wasnt able to.

When I say I have something personal to take care of it's cause I dont have the 2 hours to dick around reconverting the file to make it easier on others, uploading, testing etc. I thought a tiny preview would at least be apreciated.

YOUR satisfaction with something I am trying to do to be nice matters NOTHING to me. And if ya dont like it, well then shut up. I have no patience for unapreciative jerks.

Thank you Genom. A lot of us are very appreciative. Hope your fiance (and you) are doing well.

I look forward to the extras you will be posting in the near future. (and I have no doubt that you will be posting more)

WTF no turbo

You tell em G.Anyway sounds nice still waiting on racing beats to see what it sounds like.This one is by far though the nicest yet.

I don't mean to tease you guys again with another promise of sound clips, but we're doing a local get together and will get more clips of both the HKS and the GReddy side by side and throw in the stock one too for comparison.

...and since this is a teaser of what is to come :D

We're doing it at night in order to get some fireballs too

Sounds great! Appreciate your taste in color also, it seems great minds do think alike. Are you having any problems with the larger pipes heating the plastic? My wife will only cooperate with a few small modifications and this is one of them, well, as long as you aren't melting your exhaust outlets (j/j). Sounds excellent, especially compared to the fools around here that stick those 6" pipes on the back of their $10,000 rides. Isn't that ridiculous.

Wow! That sounds awsome! Thanks for taking the time to pull together the clip.

what is the diameter of the piping?? include tip size too please..

Efini 8

sounds nice! enjoy!

Thanks for the clip. You didn;t have to post anything up or make the clip so I'm sure 99.9% of this forum appreciate the work. Hope your fiance is doing fine.

Sticking to the topic: Exhaust sounds great. I got some saving up to do.

Genom

Thats a guy named Armando's car. The specs on the HKS are:

65mm Piping Diameter
Dual 100mm LM-1 Exhaust Tips

The greddy has much larger oval tips. They are 115 x 110mm and it uses (I think) the same 65mm piping. I drove my car for about 130 miles yesterday and checked the plastic around the tips. Since the tips actually extend a bit farther out, and the large size seems to slow the hot exhaust a little, while the plastic gets hot, it is nowhere near melting. Of course this was ll mild driving. We'll have to see how well they handle the next track event.

This afternoon I should get the camera to do the GReddy clip.

Finally, thanks for the well-wishers. She is doing pretty good now. My comment was directly at mrtux so dont ya'll feel bad. I know how hard it can be to hear about the stuff and not get it (like CZ's info on the stage 1 mod) but there's 2 ways to ask about it, and that one was not the right way.

mpt_yellowRX8

Thanks for the info on the heat, and God bless you and your fiance. I'm trying to lure my wife in on this system as I post this reply. BTW Take your time on the new clip, it pays off when viewing it.

I ordered my hks exhaust from the rx8 store about a week ago. I was wondering how difficult the instalation was, assuming you did it yourself. Because i was planning on doing it myself, but i heard that installing other aftermarket exhausts on the rx8 have been difficult.
