TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 :marshmellow::marshmellow:Tigger finally got the exhaust and he sounds awesome. I got a lightly used Magnaflow 16662 from a guy on NAM. Craig and Brian installed it and they had so much fun I think they want to install exhausts on all of the Cabrios in the club!!! Ask them if you dare :banghead: The sound is really aggressive and the tips are really tough looking. I can't post a picture from work, but I'll get some and post them. I could try a video from my phone, but not sure it will capture the sound properly. I drove home last night with total permagrin :dancing2::dancing2::dancing2: YAY!!!!

cmcveay Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Pops and burbles.... Nope, it's just allowing more exhaust noise. The real "Pops and burbles" is tuned into the ECU and then only in the JCW's. There was even a period of time when JCW's (2nd Gen) didn't have it because some consumers didn't like it. So far, Alta hasn't included it in their tunes from the access port and the last time I checked with Jan at RMW, he hadn't started putting it in either.

Yup, that's why I said it magnifies them. So wait, if I do a Jan tune, do I lose my pops and burbles?

cmcveay Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 It can't magnify what it doesn't have - that's what I'm trying to say. You'd have to check with Jan to see if he's put that into his tunes. To be honest, there's not much motivation for him or Alta to put the time and research into that because it offers ZERO performance gain. If you really want that, keep in mind the cost to your gas mileage. The "Pops and Burbles" are created by dribbling fuel into the cylinder when off throttle. That means it just pushes the gasoline into the exhaust and it doesn't make the car "go". 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Pops and burbles.... Nope, it's just allowing more exhaust noise. It can't magnify what it doesn't have - that's what I'm trying to say. Actually... the factory-tuned ECU-tuned pop and burble was first introduced with the tech refresh in the 2005 MINIs. Mine has it too. However, after many new MINI owners complained to the dealerships that they thought there was something wrong with the car, MINI decided to remove it again when the R56 was released. Therefore I can confirm that all 2005 and 2006 Cooper Ses (not sure about JustaCoopers) have the pop and burble. I am not sure if they continued the pop and burble in the 2007 and 2008 Cabrio (R52) though. So yes, Tigger does have pop and burble... and therefore the new exhaust is magnifying it.

rickyr53 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I typed up the same response and accidentally closed the wrong page *facepalm* I think it was in 2011-2012 that they re-introduced the pop and burble effect on the gen 2's when the Sport Button was activated. I ran a straight pipe for three weeks and when i let of the gas it sounded like i had run over rocks and they were bouncing under the car...it was INSANE but i loved it.

cmcveay Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 You would think that Ali, with all of the photography "stuff" she has could figure out a way to make that work. Better yet, she could ask her BMFF across the street for his GoPro, mount it on the boot and take it for a test drive.... But Nooooooo, Ali will wait for poor Mark to get home from a long day at the office and make him go out and hold her phone to make a video. That's why I love the sound recorder on the iPhone. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a place near your area that isn't a vendor but does good work on MINIs. I can't remember their name though. Maybe someone else will.
