backfire

[JAK4309]

i'm new to the forum, just bought my srt-4, at high revs only the car backfires like a sob, i know that a lot of people like it, but i don't, does anyone know how to fix the backfire problem? thanks for any useful info

Put a muffler on it. *edit* Also it is not a problem you must have a staged upgrade. It pops or "back fires" cause your computer is still sending fuel when you let off the throttle. This is so you can do a wot shift with out losing boost, one of the stage 1,2,3 features.

i have a stage 1 upgrade, but since the computer is sending fuel still, does that mean i need a stand alone fuel controller or is there some other way to get rid of the backfire?

Not unless you want to spend 2g's. Change your exhaust and put a muffler on it. Look into maxx fab they have one with a magnaflow muffler that will make them more quite and less noticeable. Or you could always sell your car.

The back fire is the best part

i hate these threads! Dont even tell me you bought an SRT-4 to save money on gas, get with the program

[JAK4309]

i didn't buy one to save on money, i just don't want the harsh sound, don't yell at me, i was just wondering if there was a way to have a sleeker sound, that's all

[joosdawg]

its what makes the SRT4 what it is man you dont want it to sound like a civic but if you do add some fuel by putting in bigger injectors or somthing and youll loose all your pops.

when WOT shifting why does it sound like a shot gun ? EVERYONE ask me that, and I am really not sure

[mushroom281]

get an SCT tune from AGP they can take out the pops mine does not do it anymore

i would say it has nothing to do with stage 1,2,3...im stock ecu and still get the backfire.

[joosdawg]

... a year later... Theres no debate or question as to how or why it happens anymore search

personally i love the pops, it deff does make the car what it is and i love the look on peoples faces when they see a neon that sounds like an 18 wheeler and then you scare the shit out of them with backfires ...i just got a 50trim set up with the sct tuner and 750cc injectors, i hope i still get some nasty backfires, you think i will?

Your in for a treat then, when you get that big a$$ turbine housing on there the pops are seriously deadly its sooo good... see here for video but real life is just that much better

damn that sounds sickk!, was he tapping the rev limit at the end?, i have the mpx 3" exhaust also, i just heard rumors that the sct flasher and the big turbo and injectors eliminate the pops and i was like oh noo
