Exhaust pops and crackles

Post by c3nturi0n » Sun Oct 14, 2018 10:20 pm

My RS is on Mrc Stage 2 with custom built exhaust...sounds just amazing on the up shift and ‘bangs’ when / where it should ;). Was wondering if anyone has done or considered pops and crackles on theirs (i beleive on downshift)?

I thought about it, but every fiesta/corsa/focus etc has crackle maps now so it’s gone chav.

That crossed my mind too... albeit V10 pop and crackle will have more bass to it (compared to inline 4's :).

MRC can add it to a map for you but it's not as "bassy" as you'd think and, to my ears at least, sounds very much like the RS3 crackles/pops. There's some vids MRC have done on the dyno if you want to hear it.

cheers Ian... I'll take a look.

Wonder what the sound is like from inside the car?

I have it on mine, and in my opinion it doesn’t crackle enough! Seems to do it more when driving hard...

Any idea what it'd cost to have this done if you already have the MRC stg2 map?
