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.

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

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.

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.

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

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