In the name of moot threads I figured I would post a vid from a while back. Hit a few curves at a local national park and pondered a question...."if a VQ shifts at 5k rpm in the woods does it make a sound"? The answer is yes, although it's more of a sweet, sweet purr. Most already know my setup so I won't go into that...enjoy.

Cool vid. A lot of wind noise from the front. Go Pros are neat little gadgets. Do they have a wind screen or anything?

Yeah wind noise is always an issue, but they have an external mic input so you could mount a mic near the exhaust to get better audio. In cabin sounds really good when I lower the back seats, working on a new vid of in cabin soon.

Also I'm not running any spacers. On really steep inclines the rear tire will barely touch the inner fender. If they were rolled it wouldn't touch so the offset is pretty much perfect for my suspension setup. The front is about the same, the tires will tuck nicely when the struts are compressed.

Thanks! Lol actually the Altima sounds better......at the moment. The 545i is getting an exhaust tweak pretty soon so I may post a vid of that. The power surge of the V8 beats the Altima though. Passing someone on the highway is almost too "easy", 60-100 comes before you realize it.
