Saxo doesn't pop
 

Hi guys, just bought my first saxo. Its a 2002 VTR. She has a supersprint manifold and a full magnex system. I wouldn't mind the odd pop or bang now and again, but I haven't heard anything of such! Is the cat in the standard mani or what way does it work on these?

Thanks

Hiya mate.

The cat in a Vtr is in the manifold.

As I understand it, Saxo's that pop are down to an overfueling problem. But it's usually left because it sounds good.

If you get it mapped, the ecu can be configured to make it pop.

Kev

Mk1 is under car
Mk2 is in mani

does the magnex centerpipe have a silencer??

2002 = mk2 sam! ;)

if he's said its got a supersprint manifold, then it won't have a CAT on it??

flaming is down to over fuelling, popping is from the back pressure or something along those lines i beleive.. with a full straight through system should ge a few pops and bangs..
get a supersprint race section and 2" backox, had that on my vtr with supersprit mani, and it sounded awesome and popped and banged loads

i agree with jamie, supersprint centre pipe is needed, i have one on my VTS with a piper backbox and that pops and bangs like no tomorrow as stokesy can confirm ;)

Hmmm

Maybe it's just a supersprint thing.

I have straight through magnex and get no popping.

The guy who mapped my car said he can make it pop by tweaking the map. Can't remember why or how though.

On my VTR I have standard mani magnex decat and cat back it's reali quiet and when going flat in 3rd then changing to second it makes a lil pop. Nothing big just a noticeable one :P

maybe its the magnex.. most othr systems seem to pop no problem..
and as lee said above, his superspriint mani and race section with the piper backbox pops and bangs like mad.. soudnd aweosme

Fair enough, i miss read it :(

mine pops now and then sounds nice though :) got vtr manifold on and a savage backbox on a 1.1 :)

Ive Got a btb 4-1 mani and a full btb 2.5" system, not heard any pops out of it, mabie im not driving it right lol

Get a few pops and bangs on mine when I change down and its around 2k revs. Thats with Longlife cat back system and standard manifold.

God knows, must just be magnex for ya lol! Can you map the standard ecu on saxo's or is it a new ecu needed ?

Magnex are supposed to be quiet until you open the taps up anyway, a full 2" supersprint would make it pop like a mad man.

how long has the full exhaust system been on for?
mine started popping after a few weeks and now pops all the time

I had a VTR with Supersprint mani and Magnex single box system - no pops or bangs. Whack a Piper or Supersprint exhaust on and it probably will.

remap the standard ecu will be completely pointless and waste of money for just an exhaust system to try and get it to pop, tbf itd probs decrease the chance of it popping..
imo sell up and get a new system :y:

My magnex only pops when you blip the throttle at high RPM, and when upshifting.

My magnex is in no way quiet. Even idling! And sitting at 70 on the motorway is not pleasant!

westy - raceland 4-2-1, magnex decat, stainless center (unknown make), piper backbox, no pops, raspy as fuke if drop your foot off accelrator at 5k+ revs

My Magnex used to gurgle loads about 3.5k revs IIRC. If not it was 2.5k, but it used to gurgle loads, no pops and bangs though. SuperSprint system with 3" Piper backbox used to pop loads about 4k revs and on the engine run-off but when changing to PH3s and map it didn't pop or bang at all, even after getting bodies mapped onto it. Saying that it might be doing it but might not hear it over the bodies :)

A few pops wouldn't go a miss but i'm getting nothing on this magnex system :(

The Magnex systems are pretty quiet. Mine never made much noise other then the usual exhaust drone/noise lol.

If you want pop try getting a SuperSprint Race centre section and cutting it to fit the sleeved fitment on the Magnex as this would then loose the centre silencer you have on the current Magnex system.

Fitting this centre section to my cousins car as opposed to the standard centre section made a big difference to his VTR. It went from just exhaust noise to popping a fair bit although this was with a 3.5" Piper rear silencer I would imagine it would act in a similar fashion.

ive got a mij custom exhuast but i need the standard 1.1 backbox now, bf was gunna put a furio centre pipe on to keep it decat and told me its still gunna pop and be noisy, im not convinced, anyone confirm?

is it standard mani nicole?
and it might, but a furio centre section snt going to be great, and a 1.1 backbox gunna lower the odds even more imo. i could be wrong, but i dont think it will with that backbox

i thought with a supersprint centre pipe i have slightly more chance lol,
yeh its standard mani and mk1, so decats it.
wanna keep my custom one but i need a hidden backbox :(

well benjee off here has standard mk1 mani and is borrowing my supersprint centre section and 2" backbox and thats popping a fair bit and a very nice noise..
maybe try something different.. i saw a rally with the exhaust coming out of the rear 1/4 just infront of the wheel.. would be good for your kinda theme as would be different, then you can have whatever backbox..
just an idea

ive got a supersprint center section with standard mani and back box and it does pop from time to time and i have had 2 flames come out over the 6 or so months or owning it but exhaust systems need time to bed in it will probably pop more over time mine has only just started doing it

shush u, u making me sound wrong lol :P..
i still rekon relocate where the backbox comes out off..
side exit ftw!! will be good on yours or nicoles theme :y:

yeh ive considered it before, but with the vtec going in i need a custom exhuast made up, so no point getting one done yet :)

lmao ill look in to it :P

saw it on a bianca rallye looked awesome!!
and yea nicole look into it when the vtec goes in :y:

with such a short exhuast though i can imagine it sounds quite different and would effect performance, i dunno, im abit of a noob :oops: but might just get a custom hidden one done as its more subtle then, and itll have its vtec purrrrr

get an extra 8valves ;)

nah dont think itll effect it that much.. spesh not if it still a straight through..
just a though, would be good for the euro kinda theme you got going, they tend to go for 'different' lol..

shh mines not euro, shes cleaned :p

well its a grogeous car either way, shame its a mk1 though :n: :P hehe

:shocked:





bitch :(
