CSL Intake Engine Bay Mic

[heinzboehmer]

Youtube recommended this video to me today. Probably one of the best captures of the CSL intake sound I've seen. Dude duct taped a nice mic inside his engine bay to get the recording.

Sounds start at 7:40. I especially like how clearly you can hear the throttle bodies snapping shut. Just awesome. Also interesting to hear the transition between the ICV and ITBs at lower throttle inputs.

Sharing cause I thought you guys might enjoy

Pretty incredible! Mclaren F1's half brother

Dude with 62 subscribers captures some of the best CSL audio on the web. Nice. SMH at all the other failures that exist when compared to this guy with duct tape and a mic.

Yeah this is definitely closest to representing the real life sound from the drivers seat that I’ve heard from a video. Very cool

Makes me want to get a CSL intake sooo bad. Too bad I don’t have that kind of money lying around

Incredible intake sound. Makes the case for ultimate quiet muffler.

I'll throw my video in for comparison, and at least it's in a safe environment taken at the track instead of canyons... Karbonious intake and the mic's right by the driver side headlight ballast box.

So. I think this convinced me to rebuild my engine... Derp.

A better mic will even capture it better.


It sounds distorted as the intake growls increases.

This is the type of active sound I wouldn't mind if pumped through the cabin speakers.

at 7:58 (right before he decides to downshift) is why i prefer to run the flap and associated oe ducting on the CSL airbox. at lower rpm an unmuffled csl box is a whole lot of noise and not that much go

[jet_dogg]

The flap makes that much difference in torque down low?

His car is stock so I'm not sure that's a fair assessment.

I think he meant it was all noise and no go. IIRC the flap is only noise control. I disagree though, the noise at low RPM is too wonderful.
