Default Can RR racing tune make RCF pop and crackle?

Hey guys,

i have a borla catback on my rcf and i love it but seeing f type or f type svr videos i wish car had more pop and bang. Does anyone know a way to accomplish that? Besides mb removing cats. Anybody familiar with how ecu overrun tune works? Is RR racing tune able to accomplish something like that?

I have both RR tune and borla and my RCF does pop and crackle but i always figured it was the exhaust more than the tune

None to report so far.

2 visits to Lexus and no problems there either.

Probably going back for headers in spring.

Think you need more...



Haha...sorry, just had to...but, yes, you will need to modify exhaust and remove the cats.

It is basically the residual gasoline and/or gas fumes that aren't burned in the engine and would normally get burned up in the cats that is igniting, AFAIK.

lmao all good. Surprised it took this long for someone. But ya i figured as much but don't really wanna get rid of cats cuz i heard it smells and other issues. Saw few bmw m3s with overrun tunes have that so i figured i ask the ppls. Thx again

Crackle and pop just seems like such a bad idea on titanium valves.

This^^^
To each their own. Instead of sounding like a well tuned engine, let's make it sound like a jalopy. Lexus engineers be like WTF.

I owned and F-Type V8S, traded it for my RCF, used to own an ISF before. That is the one thing I miss the most is the exhaust note on my F-type......No growl on the RC-F, even with Invidia catback. But it is a totally different car and probably wouldn't want the snap, crackle, pop, but would love it if I could afford the Novel complete setup for that intoxicating sound!!!

You can run catless headers/pipes and not have the "cool" Crackle 'N Pop w/a a proper tune. Now, if you like sound'n "cool" and washing down your piston rings w/wasted gas, have @ it w/the Crackle 'N Pop on decel...LOL!

Mercedes AMG's have excellent crackles and pops even with their stock exhaust. My RC F is lame and will be replacing it soon with an AMG! Hate my exhaust...

Looks like you need an aftermarket exhaust...
If not, have fun with whatever AMG you get....

Get the PPE headers, you will love the car even more after.
