Noises and liquids
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.

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
