Caterham 7 Roadsport Race Car - Exhaust Sound

[FutureMarine246]

how come this car doesnt have that popping sound? im modifying my exhaust and im trying to figure out how to reduce that popping noise

[hbwold]

@FutureMarine246 What do you mean by that popping sound? It pops every now and again on the over-run but you have to be moving for that to happen.

[FutureMarine246]

@hbwold I hear some cars, when they rev up they have that popping raspy sound like waaaaaaaaa pop pop pop.

[hbwold]

@FutureMarine246 I'm not sure. Could be unburnt fuel igniting, or maybe the ignition timing? Also my exhaust has a cat so that may reduce the popping. It does sometimes pop when the car is warm.

@hbwold isn't it the rev limiter? or do u mean anti lag system (ALS)?

[hbwold]

@polipochilegge I think he means an anti lag, but some non-turbo cars do pop on the over-run. My old car used to do it: youtube.com/watch?v=uzLUw4Rpg8­8

@FutureMarine246 The popping sound is great. Why would you want to eliminate it?

[FutureMarine246]

@FutureMarine246 I like a smoother sound , more of a gurgle

Was expecting to hear.. Love is the drug.. Listen to it.. you'll know what i mean..

[hbwold]

@chrssgreen Do you mean to song by Roxy Music?!

I really love this car. If I had the money, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. After hearing this clip, I'm surprised at how much my old 89 Shelby CSX sounded like this car (even my current Neon srt-4)... sadly neither of them could do the same lap time as this beast. Did I mention I LOVE this car?

[hbwold]

Haha thanks. It does sound nice but at the end of the day it's only an old Rover engine so can't expect it to sound amazing. The Superlights sound nice or a de-cat version of the Caterham exhaust.
