Hi, Is it possible for the Mazda 2 to make a burble/pop noise on deceleration ?
I understand there are 2 cats (monitored one near the exhaust manifold) and an unmonitored one downstream near the resonator..
If keep the same pipe diameter, remove the 2nd cat and the resonator and have an unrestrictive muffler ..is there any chance ?
I'm also worried that since this is a "modern drive by wire" the ECU must be very conservative trims and having better control over the fuelling.. not allowing even the slightest amount of extra fuel to pass into the exhaust.
I just love the sound of the popping and crackling from the exhaust when I shift or let off the throttle, or just coast downhill .. the older non turbo Mk4 golfs, non turbo mini coopers etc sound so beautiful ..
Saw some youtube vids of guys running Mazda 2's with straight pipes but still there is hardly a burble .. (unamused)
Any one of you guys noticed it ?
I did a search for some time on this forum and didn't find anything..
