I can't afford to pour fuel down my exhaust just for s***s and giggles. Plus I don't think I could drive through town with my car making that kinda racket. Its bad enough with the exhaust it has on it at the moment, I cringe as people turn round and stare.
I heard what sounded like a Rice Kirspie factory being hit by a tsunami on a stretch of dual carriageway in summer. I turned around to see a 106GTI piloted by Devo The Chav.
That noise simply can't have been normal, it was obscene!
Megane 225
My exhaust back box exploded, had baffles all over the back of my car looked like i had ran over an old lady! then it all collapsed and something was blocking the pipe! so went and got a Yozza. 
Granted it was a toyosport one that exploded so wasn't surprising really
Granted it was a toyosport one that exploded so wasn't surprising reallyAlthough the popping noise occurs in the exhaust, the high EGT very inefficient burn actually starts while the gasses are still in the engine, which leads to elovated exhaust valve temperatures, so you risk damage to those as well, and degradation of the seal between the valve and the seat as well.
Its fairly mild due to the small volume of gasses actually involved (as its doing this on a nearly shut TB), so not a massive issue, but people should be aware that unlike what they might think from what you had said there, the burn DOES start while the gasses are very much still in the engine, the popping is just the burn finishing late, it isnt when the burn starts.
Haha you can't base one Chav-chariot on all cars. I had a 106 Rallye with a 2" pugsport and it really did sound fantastic. A very nice raspy sound rather than something you could fit your leg in and sounds like the space shuttle taking off!
They do pop and bang for fun on demand though

Read the rest of the words - honestly it's covered entirely on this thread - look at Chip's post for example.

I'm about to reprogram tonight.
Is it worth putting my car battery charger on it whilst doing it?

What do you mean...

Yeah, apart from the damage this is doing somewhere along the line from engine to bumper.....I think its a bit.....well......"Mong" was a good term. lol.
I don't see this as being any different to those flamer kits that full-on retards fit.
It has no purpose.
You might as well put a flashing light on the end of the exhaust and bring a cap gun out with you.
Don't get me wrong.....when they happen naturally, that is a different matter. Mine has the RSTuner performance map on it and will pop once in a blue moon, particularly if I am cooling down after a ragging and that......is perfect
