Is that a Forge DV? I'm guessing it's got an aftermarket intake since my Forge doesn't sound like that.

what kind of recording setup did you use for this? the sound is very tinny as though the mic is in te engine compartment

That sounds more like the WMV audio compression. It has nothing to do with the recording, but more of how much the original audio/video was compressed in making it into a WMV. Since I'm assuming it had to be compressed quite a bit to post on the internet, you lose sound quality (gets more tinny), but have smaller file sizes.

Aftermarket and stock DV sound exactly the same...I have my stock DV and my friend has a Forge on his TT...we both have BMC CDA's and they sound very similar (with the exception of his being slightly louder due to larger K04)...in other words, there is no way to quiet that thing down spaceman...sorry!

Watch this video of me on the track this past weekend. You'll hear the BOV pretty well, it is loud.
