joby 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Two Questions After having my superb milltec on for a week now I have noticed a loud Backfire after say coming off the sliproad of the carriagway if you accelerate hard to the Redline on changing to second it pops loudly, im wondering if the combination of the K&N and Milltec have changed the emissions slightly and its over fueling it doesnt seem to be pinking :? Any ideas.. Also ive just put four TOYO proxes t1s on 205/40/17s and wondering how long they take to run in as they dont seem to feel as good in the dry as the nasty old Stunners i had before. the tyre fitter didnt seem to know what pressures to put in, He`s put 36 front and 34 rear im wondering if this is too much.. any ideas please :?

joebrent 0 Posted September 26, 2004 those are the recommended Tyre pressures for the 1.816v on 15's, if your comfortable with those pressures then leave em'! if not try 30/32 or there abouts, I also have Toyo T1's, they felt s**t when i first put them on, take it easy for a bout 100 miles then they will feel 100 times better! Sorry cant help with the noise coming from your rear though :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joby 0 Posted September 26, 2004 cheers joebrent i will experiment on the pressures i think the car feels nice on these pressures but just doesnt seem to handle the same, maybe they just need running in :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted September 26, 2004 Millteks do that - nothing to worry about ;) Mine pops religiously at 1500rpm. Entertains me a traffic lights every day 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Nor mamly ppl put in around 30-32 psi I tend to run abt 34psi in summer and 29psi in winter and the handling is spot on in the cold wet months Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garry 0 Posted September 30, 2004 Just had a Milltek fitted to my G60 and it does the same thing - got a saxo driving scrote with it the other day - got right next to him for the gear change and BANG! right next to the open window - bloody great.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 30, 2004 My Milltek pops and farts too.......sounds cool :lol: You should hear the popping on my mate's scoob.... jeez, it must wake the dead! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted September 30, 2004 I was all ready to order a Milltek but now I think I'll hang on. I hate that popping crap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 30, 2004 The popping is nothing to do with the Milltek, it's the engine causing it. It's just louder with the Milltek :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted September 30, 2004 Yup, my milltek does the same, quite like it. The good thing is that it only does it when revving the engine a bit harder, with normal "slouch" driving style, it doesn't pop, just sounds nice. Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 30, 2004 Also depends how hot the exhaust is...... if it's *really* hot after a long run, pop tastic :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kongo127 0 Posted September 30, 2004 I don´t have a miltek but i have a similar one. It pops when i rev hard to redline and change gear really quickly! The car is not running rich neither lean. I LOVE IT!!! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dazzyvr6 0 Posted September 30, 2004 my magnex pops and bangs all the time :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted September 30, 2004 The R6 has gone to make way for a 2004 R1. Not bad student transport I'd say! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo149 0 Posted October 1, 2004 My Powerflow pops a lot too. car's running fine though, so I'm not worried 8) Cheers, Robbo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbywhacker 0 Posted October 1, 2004 My miltek pops a treat.... erm, pop-tastic!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted October 1, 2004 My Powerflow pops a lot too. I was just going to mention Powerflow, because if you want popping/rasping and all sorts, almost nothing beats a nicely set up Powerflow system (as witnessed on my Storm Rocco :lol: ).

Neil VR6 0 Posted October 12, 2004 First of all, lets give Saxo drivers a rest. Before my G60 I had a VTR and it's agreat car and a nicely set up VTS on a track would see off most Corrado's because it weight as much a cigarette packet! Anyway, does the Miltek system drone on the motorway or is fairly quiet if you're just cruising? I had a Magnex on my Saxo and it was perfect, not too loud but a nice growl if you gave it beans.

Blown 0 Posted October 12, 2004 I have a crappy Bosal system on my Mk2 Golf GTI .tipped off with a Remus back box. I can get it to pop at will and, oh my God,does it pop! Scared about half a dozen people standing at a bus stop the other day,all jumped after I went past,revved it a little and changed down to go round a bend and BANG!! :-P Big grins and good fun. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
