Watch this vid, this aint normal right? Barking exhaust

Its booked in at REVO on 5th April mate, diagnostics/healthcheck and dyno run for £65 which is a fair price to pay for piece of mind,

AMD said mine was running fine over the weekend. must be down the exhaust.

i got all 4 springs for £25 delivered from ebay. the reason why i got all 4 was because i intend on going through the cycle lol. im going stage 2 in a few weeks and then eventually gonna fit my big turbo which i do have but putting it off till when i dont need the car for a few days. i got all the performance parts ready for big turbo but i need rods first. i may do rods befor stage 2 map for peace of mind. and ill probably leave the injectors and fuel pump till i got turbo fitted. i did record a video today and ill try posting it tomorrow.

I paid £11 for the yellow spring posted from Forge in the end. Im happy with how quick mine is for now, the spring in it isnt really blue its like a turqoisey blue colour, but a bit darker than turquoise? lol

 

[aaron-gardner]

if your running stage 2 power then you definately need the yellow spring. green is for stock and maybe ok for stage 1 but idealy need a yellow for stage 1 and definately for stage 2. you will find you dv response will be a bit quicker and should not get much if any flutter from the dv. did you do a vid of your exhaust?? as others have posted it seems normal with the type of exhaust fitted.

I watched the video on my phone with headphones in, so don't know wether I defo heard it right but is it not just un burnt fuel burning off in the exhaust as a few cars that have a remap and de-cat's can do this my mates focus st did that to the point where sometimes you could see small flames come out the exhaust

 

[aaron-gardner]

its hard to say really. mine burbles like mad on overun. ill be posting a vid of mine soon although its not mapped but has de-cat. mine does not sound like that but then again it could be video sound quality. mine sound pretty much the same in video as it does in real life. i used a 5.1 recording video camera and has pretty good sound capture.

 

[leoncupra2012]

My engine managment lights just came on, think its realised 300 miles later the CATs missing lol

My exhaust tailpipe has gone brown not inside, like the stainless steel bit, why would it do that? Just the heat ?

I tried getting a video but my blackberry couldnt handle it lol

 

[aaron-gardner]

my exhaust tip is disscolouring slightly too. it is possible your de-cat has caused the eml. you will find out when you go for a health check.

 

[aaron-gardner]

also i have done around 300 miles myself since de-cat but no eml yet. ill keep posted if it does show.

im waiting till monday night to get my intercooler pipe welded and then im ready for stage 2

 

[leoncupra2012]

It came on as i was queueing for decent fuel, thought it was cus i put **** 95 ron fuel in it last night to get home, think it may just be a coincedence, im going to try buffing the pipe back up, looks brown not stainless steel ! lol

 

[aaron-gardner]

well the brown smell stuff hit the fan today. well actually just the eml light came on. seems exactly 300 miles since de-cat its just realised its not working or there lol. mot is due on the 12th of april and i got a few things to sort. abs sensors being 1 of them
my video will be up on youtube soon so ill post a link when its up.

 

[leoncupra2012]

yeh mines on too after around the same mileage, ill get it turned off at the dyno session

 

[aaron-gardner]

well here is my not so great video but it will do.
im also happy to say i hit 0-60 in under 7 secs with just a slight roll. as i maxed out 2nd gear which is around 63mph (according to satnav)

[leoncupra2012]

Jesus mine will do 80 in 2nd.. seeing that vid of yours makes yours look so humble compared to mine, im going to see if my mums digi cam does decent videos because my blackberry doesnt, as i said o you in PM, if you give mine stick from standstill through the gears, not even redlining it, it will spin 1st and 2nd, and the speedo bounces 20, 40, 60, 80.. god knows who and what maps on it.. but it isnt no normal 180 cupra lol
