I am trying to find some sound files for various mufflers on our types of cars/engines. Most of what I am finding is either stock engines, late mustangs, or late f-bodies/vettes. Not only looking for different muffler sounds, but also for different cam sounds also. I think we need to compile a database of these files so people that want to know (or just curious) can have an idea of what they want. Any ideas?

I got this idea trying to find some sound files for a set of dynomax ultra-flows. The few that I have actually heard sound awesome. I am not real happy with the sound of my flowmaster force II system with my 388, although it sounded great with the much milder 350 that was in there before.

Any idea how to record sounds and put them on the computer???

Travis,

I used my digital video camera to record my car at idle and then extracted the audio portion and converted it to a quicktime file. All of this is easy if you have a Mac. Here is a link to that file. It is my 69 Camaro idling in my driveway. It was mic'd from about five feet behind the car. 94 LT1 383 stroker. Isky cam 269/276 .500 inch lift 112 degree lobe separation 1.6 roller rocker. Hedman shorty headers to Flowmaster American Thunder 2.5 inch pipe.

Travis,
Flowmaster has a pretty cool site that lets you listen to their exhaust systems. I just loaded the page and noticed it is different now and a bit more user friendly. They have a few Camaros listed.

Flowmaster Muffler sounds!!!!!! (http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/cgi-bin/flowmaster/sound.html?id=dvjzg3Zp)

Be sure to "crank" you speakers up! I have 5 speakers on my computer with this huge subwoofer and these sound AWESOME!!!
