Default Recording Exhaust

Finally got my car back and it sounds great!
I've watched a few videos where the exhaust sounds really good
when I record mine it sounds like it's in a tin can
are there any tips or tricks to getting the true sound
it sounds great in person but on video... not so much

You are getting tinny echo because you are standing with your mic in the garage. Doesn’t sound that bad. Maybe have car and camera outside.

1) Don't have the tips pointing into a garage
2) Your camera and mic is terrible. Not good enough to pick up the bass of the exhaust and the video quality is grainy.

Definitely do it outside where the sounds arent bouncing around
What are you using to record it with?

This was from an age old go pro factory settings..What drives me nuts is mounting it on the rear (driving) and al the wind noise.
