Do long tubes eliminate the infamous popping/gargle???

[GodStang]

Kooks LTs and mid pipe and a few different catbacks over the years and no pop once a good tuner was found.

That's the thing...I WANT the poppin to remain after a long tube install.

so I bought some stingers awhile ago to pair with my Kooks LT and x pipe.... Was considering leaving my current set up on and just selling the stingers.... Not anymore..

You are the man! Yeah, long tubes it is, I can have the best of both worlds. Thank you for taking the time out to make this.

I think the catback may have more influence than the headers. I have an O/R X and mine sounded a lot nastier on decel with LM1 vs Magnaflow. The LM1 sounder great wide open but they were just too nasty any otehr time plus they drew a lot of attention.

What headers are you running?

That's not my video but i used to have the same setup. From the video description it seems like stock manifolds.

Yea that's what it sounded like...I know the popping is there with stock headers, that's not my concern. My concern was the popping going away if you install long tubes. But I think I have enough info to get the pop go remain if I ever go the long tube route.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen anyone WANT that popping! I always thought it was ghetto sounding, and indicative of a poorly tuned car,motorcycle, etc., and tried my damndest to avoid that, lol!

I have Kooks 1 3/4 LT's, x-pipe, and Flowmaster catback. It definitely pops, but moreso when cold or decelerating in gear from a redline sprint.

I dont like it though and am going to be changing the midpipe and catback soon.

Tagging along, I just purchased a cobra with Borla Stingers and an off road prochamber. Thinking about changing for a X-pipe and may be thinking about getting Kooks long-tube headers.

 

[R.D.P.]

I agree it's the tune if your talking about pops. The gargle sound I think is the exhaust setup. I like the gargle and maybe a little popping, but I've heard some Coyotes that popped really bad and it sounds like shit. My old tune sucked and I had way more popping vs. my new tune from new tuner, both with the same exhaust setup.

Get cats on the midpipe, they help keep the rasp at bay. Sometimes I wish mine had hi flows on it....

 

[Tyler06]

I am not a fan of the cats on. That's just me, I like them to be loud but at the same time sound good. I may be sticking with the H then adding some long tubes to wake it up a bit.

 

[jaehow23]

the key to the popping, resonators.

I had magnaflow mufflers and it wasn't aggressive enough for my taste, nor was the popping i wanted there. I swapped out the MFs for a resonator and it definitely woke the exhaust up!

ARH LTs, O/R X and resonators:

(this was filmed with my cell phone and it immediately distorts the sound. I 'll get a better exhaust video soon)

I think my pop is gone, didn't hear it during my test drive. Kooks 1 5/8" off road x and stingers with a Jon Lund tune... Maybe j just can't hear it from being infront of the pipes.

I hear mine popping and hear my GFs 15 pop driving too
