Interesting - Sammy H - I would say that I have lost a lot of the flat four burble - the noise is also significantly reduced - I can now run the car without the baffle in and it is much more tolerable.

At full bore it definately sounds less Scooby.

Also, I know this is one of Steves favourite jobs - I'm glad that I have created a market for him. Tell him to get some proper carbide grinders, he'll do it in half the time

I phoned when he was doing mine, quote, '**** happens, David!'.

Hi Sam,

Yes, indeed, long time...

Hmmm, been thinking of this for a while.

I'm not sure, exactly, but with my fully-decatted exhaust I get no pops or flames which makes me think it runs quite lean. A good excuse for a Link methinks!!

A visit to Kevin may be in order once I've had the MOT done and know whether It'll be safe to do!

i think the sound of the car also depends on the exhaust that is fitted, mine is quite anyway.

now it sounds different on cruise but it still have the flat 4 beat, which it should as it still unequal length.

my car is distinctively louder on full throttle though.

one thing for sure the car is deffinitely faster

My uk car has a link and full scoobysport system but I dont get flames or popping.

I hope I don't lose too much of the sound when I get the manifolds done anyone got a recording they could post? (subtle hint)

Sammy,

Surely, with the link, that's by design! ;-)

With my Jecs I am just unlucky?

With a "correctly" mapped link (going for efficiency as well as power) flames, pop's and bangs isn't of interest.



But it's so when it happens.

Basically it's a matter of getting the zorst glowing hot, and putting a bit of unburnt fuel through it - pop.

it is not really that easy to get flames with the link ecu if you are running standard dump valve. i remember helping a friend map his 93wrx which had a vent to atm. dump valve and intially when we were running rich, my god we thought the rear bumper was going to melt. the flames were huge
