well.. sorta. i got a new exhaust set up and now it pops like freakin rice krispeys! when i let go on the gas or when i lightly step on the throttle it makes a bubbling, popping sound.. almost sounds like backfiring.

the new exhaust setup i put on includes a DC 421 header, Crsound 2.5" cat, Tanabe Racing Medallion 60mm piping to a custom 2.5" axelback portion with HKS 60mm Carbon Ti muffler.

so how do i stop my exhaust from farting?

i dont really think you can....i love that sound...like when you let off the gas and and the revs drop and it sounds like its burping.

 

The only way to get rid of it completely, would be to upgrade your ECU to one that supports fuel cutoff on overrun. The popping sound is unburnt fuel in your exhaust igniting.

You may be running too rich, which tends to make things even worse.

I have to agree with the previous poster, I like the farting sounds too! lol

 

Yours does it without even trying? Mine does it if im barely touching the gas when decelerating from a higher RPM. I like it to, not sure about the neighbors though!

 

maybe try getting a resonator tp pipe things a bit.

 

2.5" exhaust piping is going to do that, it's large

put on a silencer and restrict the flow if you want it to stop

 

I love that sound.....means your exhaust is open and doing its job

Just one more reason to call it RICE!!!

 

my car farts like my grandma when she's asleep

 

ok wait.. so you guys are telling me that this farting sound is good.. performance wise speaking? (a good indicator that my exhaust is flowing freely?) if its a sign of unburnt fuel, wont that eventually start to gunk things up?

 

my car has the same popping when i let off the throttle at high rpms. i got 2.5 all the way back, N1 muffler and friggin 18 inch long 4 and half inch wide magnaflow resonater to get rid of the super rice fart can sound due to having no cat. little bit of pops wont hurt anything.

Dammit, I thought a resonator would get rid of that ****....

nope not completely, i have close to the same setup as 98TypeSH

and mine makes that sound too. that n1's one loud faulker

 

I've got the farts too, and it doesn't bother me. I wouldn't mind leaning her down a bit though, but yeah....

 

I noticed the same thing and have come to love the sound when rolling up to a stop light especally when its under a bridge or tunnel!! It's the sound of a healthy, free flowing engine.

 

i heard this is more prevalent in the "break-in" period of the exhaust. is this true or do people just get used to the sound?

 

The only time mine does it is when the engine is decelerating and changing from hi-cam to low-cam.

 

my buddy had a carsound cat on his old DA integra. Before he put it on, it sounded alright but while it was on his car, it made the same noise you described. It was annoying so he sold it for an s14 240 with an sr20det... that's neither here nor there though.

 

i love that sounds , if you have no cat and you drive and rev it up really high and let it decelerate on its own it sounds like the world is comming to an end , i do that all the time to scare old people or dumbasses

yeah, I know

 

i love reving it in tunnels or downshifting and flooring it in tunnels...especially when VTEC kiks in
