lumpy idle

tim2x · 25-03-2006, 04:10 PM

hey guys, i got a cat back exhaust on my EF, im pretty happy with it, nice and loud, but i want a bit more of a lumpy idle, im not expecting a huge v8 tone.. i'd get a v8 if i wanted a v8 sound hahaha...

anyway, people have suggested maybe extractors, cam's?

any idea's?

cheer's

Extractors always help but you need descent quality ones!
I have 1 straight through muffler and it sound preety good on a rubbish ea..

poor cranners:P man go back and get ur system checked, my mate ( Redline) got his exhaust done today ( same as urs ) and it sounds a hella diff...

what will removing a spark plug do? ist that dangerous haha

yes i agree with extractors. The catback just carries the sound the is emited by the extractors and they are better free flowing anyways which is why they are such a popular mod. Also if you want a lumpier idle on a budget you could always unplug a vacume line

tim2x · 25-03-2006, 07:28 PM

vacume line? what will do? dangerous?

No not dangerous it'll just make your engine run like crap. Big cam and extractors/exhaust will do it though.

A lumpy idle after a while becomes very annoying. You just get every hoon wanting to race you. If you want your car to be a sleeper its hard to disguise.

If you want it lumpy sorry but just get yourself a V8 and be done with it.

not really a good idea if this is a every day car mate would most likely run like a bucket of shiit

Apparently if all your cylinders aren't firing, petrol can mix with your engine oil. Which can break your oil down. So I don't recommend unplugging a lead.

agony, a few of the guys on here have heard the ol' crate and I can say you don't need a V8 to get the idle

there are so many places out there doing cams for these motors, just ring up a place and get a mildly lumpy cam..
