Will a flowmaster stop popping?

[hondamanlxi]

man 3 posts in one day! Thats gotta be a personal record!

my accord has headers/2in pipe/no cat/ vibrant muffler

its just to loud and on decel it pops! i put a 40-series flo on my 300zx and i keep considering swaping mufflers!

[hondamanlxi]

i know that the decel popping is from lack of backpressure! the vibrant isnt a true straight thru muffler, but isnt a true chambered either! The flow is a single chamber i think! i think it will help

whatca think?

Flowmaster will decrease the popping. I put a Thrush muffler on my accord and I think I gained some by switching b/c I didn't have the backpressure needed. Flowmaster will also reduce the back flow (in-flow). I had the same setup as you do, but now I have the Thrush on. It sounds stock at idle but when I press the gas down you just hear my intake roar through the hoodscoop. I had some hot shot with a civic HX get his ass handed to him. He had ZEX and NOS stickers on his car and I rolled the window down to ask him which system he had?

Are you carb'd? That's typical on a carb'd engine, part of the package.

Yeah I have a Weber. I know it's typical b/c have have raw fuel get past the combustion chamber and it creates a badass sound

the popping happens with almost any carbed vehicle. i.e mustangs, etc. I think it adds character to a 3g if it does that. I am a fan of popping. not the glasspack sound but the mufflers that pop. personnaly i thin dynomax bullets and spintech's sound freaking awesome.

a guy i work with owns a 1998 Ford F150 XLT Off Road... its got the 5.4 liter and he has just the factory cats and duals after them.. no mufflers, no tips... when he gets on it, it snaps real nice, and when he downshifts, or lets go of the gas hard, it also snaps and crackles... its not a carbed car that does this, its those with very little backpresure

Some Flowmasters create a scavenging effect... the popping may result because of it.

It is not a poping it is a "high performance backfire".
As for the 40 series they don't sound good they produce a raspy sound. I tried it with a glass pack before it and it still sounds like crap. A 60 series would be good or maybe a 50 series.

hahaha... I used to drive a 1981 datsun 310 without a muffler. that thing would pop on command. just drive it to 5000 rpm in 2nd or 1st gear and let of the gas suddenly. POP... worked everytime
