Since I got the Courtesy exhaust my car has done this. Any turbo SR20 powered car with a decent exhaust that I've heard of does this. Why? Is it because the JWT ECU runs so rich? What negative effects can this have? Can't it hurt your cat if it's exploding in there? Having combustion in other places that it should happen just doesn't sound at all good to me.

I thought it was just from lack of back pressure. When I snapped my flex pipe in half I got the popping also.

Yea, lack of back pressure sounds right too. That's probably it since I've got 2.5" piping.

Ben when I first got my exhaust my car did the same thing. It doesn't do it anymore, so maybe the ECU just has to learn the mod?

My friends SE-R poped alot when he was slowing down. Then we pulled the fuel rail off..... The Orings on the 370's were ucked up. "Why didnt you change them the 1st time?" ...... Lazy people do lazy things

we changed that an it didn't pop as much. Then he put the 3" cat on an it didn't pop any more.

Do you smell what the talon is cooking?

Well I don't get any popping besides during shifts under a gerenous amount of acceleration. Slowing down or whatever doesn't pop whatsoever. Ben Moses's DET with 2.5" exhaust does the same thing actually.

Any more ideas? I did change my o-rings with the injectors, but again I don't have the symptoms that Yellow4g63 mentioned anyways.

man, my car always backfires on deceleration. It's done it ever since I took the CAT out.

 

[gpser96]

Yup...got the pops too. I have the Courtesy Exhaust Gen 3 header...!

Pops all around with mine. A bit of fire here and their too. I have a pin hole leak on one of my IC pipes so untill I get that fixed thats what I'm blaming it on.

My car has the JWT Turbo ECU, 370cc injectors, (the turbo is out right now), and she pops like a race car on decelleration. Josh from SCC was in my car on the track in Vegas 2 weeks ago and loved the sound

Ben, it did it on my car too, before i sold it you. It is simply the loss of backpressure through 2.5" pipes, nothing to worry about!

A lot of the time, it's because of an exhaust leak somewhere.

Mine pops and all I have is an intake and a muffler with stock piping.
