A video of my 04 monaro with Wortec SS exhaust with no CATS, K&N Filter, 2nd hole in air box, MAF pipe and tune. I also have the wortec short shifter.

Beware 56K, 8.2mb file.

Sweeeeeet. Sounds absolutely divine mate. Would have loved just a few more seconds worth of movie to hear her under load though. I guess we'll have to wait until Silverstone

What's the cabin noise like with the windows up? Mine sounds great outside but with all that noise reduction stuff in place she's fairly quiet inside unless she's under load. Maybe de-cat pipes would help.

Hi comm_SS_v8! I haven't driven it with the windows up yet! OK I lied I have once driven it with the windows up to test it. It's ok until you accelerate at which point the grin starts to appear. It's quiet inside at motorway speeds with no intrusive rumble - so I just put my foot down drop a gear and wind the windows down - coz that's how I like it!

As a side point, I am not good with computers, but this presumably means it may take a while to download?

I was watching the clip after 5 seconds, so does that mean that my computer is decent?

The car sounds good, btw.

V8_OHV, it all depends on your configuration. I downloaded the entire file in under one minute and watched it locally.

What you describe is 'streaming'. This means that you initially wait a few seconds whilst the data buffers (5 sec in your case) and then the data continues to download in the background whilst you watch it. Think of a buffer as a bucket with a hole at the bottom. You fill it up (download) as fast as you can whilst you watch the data that flows out of the hole at the bottom. The flow rate out of the hole is constant and is usually 25-30fps (frames per second) which is TV quality. Once the bucket is full it simply waits for space before downloading more data until the end of the file is reached.

I would hazard a guess that you've got broadband either 512kb (unlikely), 1Mb (most likely), 2Mb, 4Mb or 8Mb. Unless you live in Leeds or London you're not going to have anything faster.

The reason for Booster saying '8.2MB on a 56k line' is purely to warn those still on the old modem dial-up that it's a very large file and would take hours to download rather than minutes for broadband users.

[quote]so does that mean that my computer is decent[/quote]
Possibly, but not necessarily. It simply means your broadband pipe is good. I still run a 900Mhz CPU with 512MB of RAM running Solaris(UNIX) rather than M$ Windows.

Hope you understood that. If not, mail me off forum and I'll discuss further.
