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.
