This weekend this website dude took a short video clip of my 84 Mazda at a regional Houston SCCA autoX event.

RB road race header with a Borla Sportsman 3" muffler mounted to the end of the header with a short turn down after the Borla. Simple, lightweight, great flow!

It is loud!! Good thing is, it has a deeper tone instead of an anoying tone like some exhausts have.

Yeah I think its because you have essentially no piping. Mine sounded like God, shouting, when it was open header.

Where did you get your camera mount? Is it one that has a suction cup?

i got my mount from a company called Chase cam. mine is the Triple Suction Cup Mount and i have never had a problem with it! it has been on the out side of my car, on a bike going 170mph+ on the highway and never has came undone.

they also have other mounts you might want to check out.
