I hear the crackle pops all the time on those exotics at the local cars and coffee. Most of the time it's an aftermarket exhaust FI, Akrapovic, Armytrix etc. If I hear it on a crappy old looking car then yeah I'd think it's low quality.

I understand it's not for everybody, but I personally love it.
just a bad tune.

Unnecessary sounds are not "cosmetic"? I would put this in the same category as ASC, and IMHO, ASC is a cosmetic enhancement with no functional value. I turn it off every time I get in the GS F just like I automatically select sport mode.

I got my borla exhaust system installed and it sounds evil. Incredible exhaust. Only driven it a few times so far, but I got one loud intense backfire/pop while decelerating and also had another decently loud one today.
With my last car, I knew exactly when it would crackle, accelerate past 4k, let it decel in same gear, around 3500-3000 you get magical crackle. Any idea when this happens with the RCF engine? Haven't figured it out yet!
To add, I believe when it happened I was at very low RPM, sub 2K which seems strange to me.

I don't believe ASC can be turned off in the RCF, you can turn it off in the GSF?

Also, for those of you who don't personally like when an exhaust pops/crackles, please, feel free to hit the back button and go into another thread before you post useless opinionated comments about something I have made clear I enjoy. I'm fine with you not liking it, but why clutter the thread?

That's like posting a pic of your new wheels and getting upset because some people don't like them. Not everyone will agree with you, it's a fact of life.

My 05 LS430 has 2.25 inch straight pipes and it backfires/crackles when downshifting sometimes. It happens more when I'm downshifting in manual mode. I'm curious if the RC-F can achieve it with a straight pipe setup. The weird thing is that I never tried to achieve backfiring on my car either but I like it.
My friends that owned IS-F's typically never had any backfiring but most of them used Borla exhausts. I would give the straight pipes a shot if you can handle the loudness.
