After publishing a video every Sunday for 30+ this Sunday I decided to do something super simple and take it easy for a day or two. So I retarded my ignition a bit and squeezed a few pops from my exhaust and decided to explain a bit of the theory of making pops and bangs / exhaust popcorn/ pop and crackle, or whatever else people call it. It's a super simple and straightforward guide that will get your exhaust popping in no time :)
A few additional notes when it comes to exhaust pops and carburetors:
- In my case the Nodiz doesn't allow negative ignition advance values (below zero), and in many cases you want negative values for bigger and louder pops and bangs from the exhaust. This is part of the reason why the pops you can hear in the intro to the video are pretty mild.
- Also for louder pops and bags with carbs you will often want pilot jets that are a bit larger than is recommended for good idle air fuel ratios, this means that your mpg may be suffering in the interest of pops and bangs. This is the other part of the reason for my mild pops and bangs as I didn't touch any of the jets on the carbs to get the little pops.
- For maximum pops and bangs you also want the engine as warm as possible, the pops and bangs will often be loudest during hard driving when the exhaust manifold gets very very hot. Cast iron manifolds usually produce inferior pops and bangs compared to welded steel manifolds.
Thanks for watching and much love to you all!
