Read more about this type of tuning. Find out why it is so common and whether it will fit your car.
The name of the exhaust speaks for itself. The sounds the car makes are similar to exploding popcorn kernels in a microwave oven. Another name for it is a shot exhaust. Such tuning is inspired by autosport, where the anti-lag system was invented to fight turbo jam. Now it is installed not only by racing fans, but also by owners of ordinary cars in a more gentle version.
How it works
The sound is provided by a small explosion of fuel in the vehicle’s exhaust tract, by shifting the ignition angle or increasing the fuel phase. It is generated inside the exhaust pipe at the fourth beat of the engine. The saturation of the sound and the amount of shot depends on the number of engine revolutions, and not at all on its volume.
The technical side of the process is that the mixture is ignited with a delay, as a result of which its explosion occurs not inside the cylinder, but already at the exit. This provides a loud and spectacular sound.
Safety
Correct installation is extremely important. If tuning is done by professionals, such an effect will be absolutely safe for the driver and passengers, and will not put additional load on the engine. The environmental filter is not an obstacle to the realization of this idea, since the installation of such an exhaust is possible in a gentle form, without resorting to the destruction of the catalytic converter of the car.
The intensity of the pops will also depend on the modifications of your car. A more intense Popcorn effect can be expected in cars with tuning of Stage 2 and higher version.
Who is suitable for
Refinement of the exhaust pipe is possible on models of various brands. Modern cars are offered a special tuning mode, in which the exhaust is manifested during a sporty ride, and in conditions of quiet city driving it does not open. However, it does not bring any functional benefit to non-inflated cars, it only adds to the effect.
Thus, Popcorn exhaust will definitely not leave your car without attention. For quality realization of the most ambitious ideas, please contact DEIZ!
