Awesome, I love mine. The back of the car has been the best for getting rid of every trace of wind noise. I just run the wires into the trunk, then have the mic poking out and taped to the top flat of the bumper. You can do the same with the MS3's, we had it on @MS3brohanna's car that way for autocross over the weekend and it sounds great.

Thanks for the tip. The other one I bought was good at slow speeds but when I started to get on it, it was crackling bad and sounded horrible. I even went out and bought some fabric to make a sock and helped but it would still crackle just not as bad.

 

This one seems to handle my loud exhaust like it's nothing special. Even when I had the exhaust terminating closer to the mic it never had troubles. When it's on a car that isn't as loud as mine, it'll pick up rocks getting picked up and thrown into the wheel wells, people talking nearby, it's really sensitive. Open downpipe video.

 

We'll be going through Paducah around 830-9am Thursday morning (I'm just NW of there). If you're not planning to leave super early, we could start a convoy.

And on that note, my car is massively dropping fuel pressure in boost. Pulled the spill valve and cleaned it, no luck. Started to pull the pump, but saw the hard line twisting with the nut and didn't want to chance it. So, in true MS6 fashion, I'll be doing some maintenance as soon as I get there because I'll have parts on hand at that point...

I'm on vacation, 830-9a sounds good. I'm not getting up super early just to sit in the car for two days. I haven't made a reservation but I'm aiming for the Days Inn which looks to be in down town. I'll PM you my number.

 

I also took tomorrow off, plan on being all packed up and leave about 5 a.m. Thursday morning. Car is ready except for throwing fresh plugs in, so should be an easy prep day. Hoping for a smooth trip down.

We might run into you on the way down with any luck. We are leaving milwaukee at 2am thursday. Gotta bang through Shitcago before the traffic gets crazy.

 

If anyone has a spare Gen1 OEM HU they want to get rid of, please bring to ENM. Mine is pretty much junk. I got a few buck too if you want $.

EDIT: Found one.

Do you use any sort of wind filter? Or is that location good enough to keep the wind away. I had been planning on taping my mic there anyway, but the wind filters I got are too small.

The mic has a wind sock on it, but I don't think it's necessary back there. Just tape it down to prevent it from moving and picking up banging/scraping sounds.

 

Are any of you assholes planning on passing through Arkansas on your way there? I'm trying to save some $$ on shipping my transmission....

I like how nice you were on Facebook, but in here you addressed us more appropriately. But, no, I can't help you. Lol

Tapping from surgery suite!

 

I went in the garage and found a couple spare parts that I'll be bringing.
Cobb SRI
Stock airbox
Stock TIP

 

Just picked up a couple Sixers of hometown brewed beer, and a bottle of single malt scotch. Also some food drive stuff, almost time.

...said the pot to the kettle.

At 6'1" and 235 I don't deny I'm a fat kid but the seat shouldn't break getting out of it.

Normally I would say yes and burn it together at home. However, I have this warranty that's only a $50 deductible for covered items and the seat is covered I'm game for a new seat as the seat has 80k miles on it.
