So Linda, I probably won’t do a sound clip mostly because I’m too much of an audio dork. It's a personal problem. In engineer speak the issue with listening to a car exhaust on pc playback is the frequency response of a PC system is SOOOO bad and the dynamic range is even worse due to extreme compression.
Even if I made a very careful recording with a precision microphone, it would sound completely different to everyone who listened because each playback system changes the sound so much. Too much treble on some, no lower end at all on others, all raspy upper midrange on another, distortion etc, you get the idea.
A good example is hearing a Harley or a Rice-burner bike on youtube and then roll down the window next time one rumbles or screams by you on the road. One just isn’t representative of the other.
An even better example is listening to an old piston airplane on youtube. Go find a running P-51 Mustang on youtube and have a listen-sounds kinda like a toy airplane. If you ever get the chance go to a vintage airshow and listen to a real p51 start, idle, rev and take off..what an unbelievable, spectacular, amazing piston engine sound. Listening to a P-51 in person and one on pc audio file just can’t be compared, they just aren't even similar.
Good news is you should be able to hear some of these systems and resonators at Shasta and Solvang etc. since they are going on the very best cars and restorations. The 2" system is fantastic for KA and SR cars too!
Thanks again Shannon, enjoy the system!
