Anyone tried it yet, do you think it really is necessary for our cars, don't our cars already sound so good?

  • I don’t think it is but I also just paid to have lights that change color in my car.
    Some people want their car to sound like a machine gun. Lol

Quote: Honestly, I don't know and couldn't figure out the ethanol content I just know it's 91 octane as that's the highest available around me. However, I'm happy to say that the pops and bangs have returned (even coming down from redline)! I plugged in an obd2 and deleted the only code that popped up, but it looked like it had something to my outter temp gauge (like weather temp), but I deleted it nonetheless and first time I put it back into sport plus everything was back to normal. Still don't really know what the exact issue was, but happy everything is back to normal!
.
please i also have the same issues can you help ???

bad for your catalytic converter anyways... gas is supposed to combust in the combustion chamber not your exhaust, hence the name.

Not trying to revive an old thread, but this is the story.

Burble suddenly disappear is the cause of a A/F ratio or Exhaust related DTC stored in ECU.

You could try to clear it, the sound will return. But as soon as the fault logs again it will disappear.

It's part of the soft-limp safeguard within the SG Exhaust sound generator control unit and ECU

I am currently working on solving this issue for one of my customer with aftermarket downpipe.

Apparently his DP did not have proper O2 sensor fittings and they were either hacked on or not even plugged in.

He will get Cat efficiency low DTC on both banks and his burble will stop working.

I've already turned off his lambda correction leaving only CO correction and lowered his exhaust governor down from EU6 to EU4 STP and from CARB to F-EPA

He no longer has CEL lit up, but the codes are still reoccurring in some intervals of 4 to 5 days. (about the time for LT trim to set in)

My next move is to disable his NOX and check SG sound unit coding see if there's anything can be fiddled with.

BTW, to code MED177V6LA you need to unlock both Level 09 and Level 0B seedkey securities.

Will update if this can be solved.

Hey any updates on this ? I recently had a resonator delete. Could this have caused the same issue ?
