Hi, i installed a kadron header with a stinger the other day and its loud but when i stop accelerating it makes a wierd like a backfiring noise, is this normal. Also it seems to collect water or some liquid but not fuel i hope and it hasnt rained. Im just wondering this is all normal on a 1600 single port.

ok

a) a stinger has basically no back pressure so it may pop when u back off the throttle but before u just assume this is the case, check all the gasgets for leaks, check timing, fuel points, tappets etc. as running lean or too advanced could cause backfiring.

b) where is the liquid collecting? at the flange? it might be dew. how big is the temp change from evening to day where u live?

c) stingers arent legal and u will get pulled over by the cops/RTA/DOT or whatever.

Yeah i pla on doing leak check soon, it doesnt do it with the quiet pack on so all good i think.

Yeah at te flange and its pretty big it can be frosty the boiling in one day.

And only had it on going up and down my street testing it out, will be off tommoro.

Yeah, i just addded a chick on facebook that lives like across the street and then drove past her just then. But they would love me cause i only got the car started at ten last night witht it on, sounded good

its just condensation and its perfectly normal part of the combustion process


if you want the sound of a stinger but have an exhuast thats legal chuck a big hotdog on it

ive got a 2 1/4" mercury torpedo i sometimes ran on my 1776 and its sounds no different to running a stinger but its legal cos its not sticking out beyond the bumper

Ive already got three or for plans for bolt on mufflers, one of them include a hotdog.

Also it does have a leak right near the left hand side so im gwetting a set of new gaskets tommoro.

Nice exhaust
