The video was about 6 minutes compressed, so the actual expansion probably took about one and a half or two mins. Interestingly, that wasn't a cold start, the car had just been turned off about 20 minutes prior. Pretty neat to see.

Very cool, I always knew it happened but never knew just how much they "grew" with the heat.

Turning on the car just took on a whole new meaning.

Nice. Accidentally discovered this last night around midnight and barely got it uploaded before wifey went nuts at me not coming to bed. Maybe I should make a better version closer up.

1st video: Combined a new clip with the original, and added the exhaust note in the background from the new clip.
2nd video: The new clip in real time just for shiggles. Should be posted on Youtube shortly.

1st Clip: Combined both runs
