one of the questions i get all the time not all the time but quite often is um if i fit
this exhaust will my car pop and bang and it's it's a really hard question to answer because it
it depends on so many things so for example the the kind of pops and bangs that you're getting
are basically unburnt fuel in the exhaust and you you you hear about like pop and bang mac
maps or crackle maps whatever they're called um and you can you can have a standard exhaust
which will pop and bang and you can you can enhance that by doing the d-cap or um by
that but it's really hard to say to somebody yes if you buy this exhaust your car will pop and bang
because really it's down to the the kind of fueling aspect of the car without going too
technical into the the kind of mapping aspect of it the pops and bangs are caused by the ecu and
the fueling of the car not by the exhaust all the exhaust will do is allow them to be audible
so if you have a really restrictive standard exhaust and the car is kind of over fueled and
really rich then the potential to pop and bang is there which is why when you take
the cat out or you take a silencer out you start to hear those pops and bangs
and so when people say to me you know will maxwell's pop and bang it say it really depends on
the kind of the ecu the mapping um and the car some cars obviously i've got experience with i
can say yes you know if you have um if you have a d-car or a full system astro hvx-r's classic
example if you have a full system yeah it'll pop and bang yeah it will it won't be as mad as a um
crackle-mapped um fiesta st you know that's kind of um like mapped to pop and bang but
it will but the stock ecu and the stock mapping will allow that to happen of course
cars with different software on cars with all the hardware on different in different
induction kits intercoolers all those kinds of things they do affect how the engine is put how
the engine performs how the ecu allows the engine to run so all i ever say to people is
that having a free-flowing decatur exhaust allows those pops and bangs to happen
whether they happen or not is down to the software and how the car is mapped
you of course can ask your tuner you know that you want pops and bangs when you take off the
when you take your foot off the throttle you want pops and bangs on the overrun and things
like that those are all things that most tuners should be able to do on most cars
but one thing that they will often ask you is is the car decated and those kind of things
because they need to know that if they perform that software on the car that it's not going to
um it's not going to cause the exhaust any damage because we're essentially you know
igniting unburnt fuel in the exhaust system and if there's a cat in there that's going to eventually
start to break the cat down and cause blockages so it's really important that you know you
you can you can kind of understand that it's not always down to the exhaust a good free flow and
exhaust system will allow those pops and banks to happen but really it does come down to the mapping
so if it's pops and bangs you're after you will need an exhaust but you'll also need that software
modified in order to actually get them and get them loud so there's any other questions on
kind of general questions on products like that that you think are kind of frequently
asked questions or that we should answer please let me know instagram or in the comments and uh
yeah i'm more than happy to kind of do a video on it where we can explain it a bit better
