I think the SRT4 gargle noise is terrible. The slight popping/backfire from a boosted tC is GREAT.

I have no cat and a good sized resonator (full exhaust including megan header) and I only get real noticeable popping in 1st gear when i'm at about 4k then drop off the throttle. Every other gear does it very slightly. 5th gear decels sound especially good. Small pops throughout. When the car is cold I get a small backfire when upshifting 1st through 3rd which sounds nice. Ricer or not, it's mean.

Get a good, well bent, nice quality header back exhaust and you will as a side result get the decel popping.

generally it comes from the excess of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. a slightly larger exhaust system works well. with race headers. that seemed to do the trick for my neon when i had it. however your O2 sensors and/or cat converter may end up burning out quicker though.

So, you're pulling into a gas station.

"Hey dude, you might want to take a look at your engine; it sounds like it's backfiring a bit."

"No, no, I made it that way! It's supposed to do that!"

your post implied that your main focus was to get the "popping backfire"

not to gain power

...well obviously if you put mods into it its going to gain power. its common sense. if you dont have it dont post up stupid things like that. just makes you look retarded and people hating you.

lol. sure. i dunno about you but asking how to get a peculiar sound using only exhaust is very ricey to me.

besides, any "power" gain you get from s-pipe and a test pipe is negligible


i DO have backfire you postmonkey.

but unlike you were asking....my "backfire" is a result of a real power mod.

Hey dougchoi u don't really want backfire unless your boosting
even when you have boost and backfire thats means you are running too rich of mixture. Adding pipes will not give you any adequate hp increase. Add u live in the OC that noise is a cop magnet even here in florida the cops stop u for a loud muffler.

if you want backfire get turbo.

thats what we all said. backfire without turbo = BAD but you still want it

YOU need to get out of your own thread for not listening to educated advise

Also, the title of the thread being "Popping Backfire" doesn't suggest that you're looking for exhaust performance gains (otherwise, you would have made the title of the thread "Exhaust Performance Gains"), but we're the retarded ones for assuming that. Right.

Also, cue the very typical ricer defense of "WELL IT'S A FUNCTIONAL MOD".
Examples?

- MY OVERSIZED DUAL TIER WING MAKES DOWNFORCE

- MY 4" EXHAUST ALLOWS BETTER AIRFLOW

- THE 8 SCOOPS IN MY HOOD PUSH COLD AIR ONTO MY ENGINE

- MY TINTED WINDOWS HIDE MY ACNE

- MY GIANT OVERPOWERING FOG LIGHTS HELP ME SEE AT NIGHT

Fail. Over and over fail. Hey, I hear carsponsorships.com can give you a full exhaust if you sign up with them.
