guys i took out the restrictive muffler and put in an aftermarket free flow muffler, and i everything seems ok except that when i rev it and release the gas pedal it backfires! (or gives a popping sound at the exhaust)..

is this bad for the engine? or would this affect performance or the engine?

thanks..more power!

I recently had a hotdog fitted to mine in place of the muffle between the cat and tip. When the car was run after fitting the guy noticed that I have a leak at the gasket just behind the cat.

My point is that mine backfires on occasions when I rev it > 5k. Usual from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to third. Hopefully its not bad for the engine.

thanks for ur replies guys, well so it seems a little backfiring wont hurt at all...also would like to ask if i take out the stock resonator (the one located before reaching the rear differential), would this free up air flow exhaust restrictions too? or would it just make it sound louder?

coz saw on this pic (see link below) on cardomain.com , this guy took the resonator out and did a straight pipe all the way to the muffler..(oh by d way the driver of this ceffy's wasnt hurt)

That would be loud as.

When I got my car it was dump pipe > cat > cannon. That was WAAAY too loud for the road. I had a resonator put in (hot dog style) between the cat and cannon and it's still 96db.

If you really want to know dyno it, take it off, dyno it again.

Thats what mine just had put on it (hotdog) in place of the original middle muffler. I know it is too loud expecially on boost @ high rpm. Gonna get it made quiter cuz I dont fancy a defect.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
