The R56 certainly did. Especially so with the JCW exhaust! Pretty sure the F56 does, too.
R56 S did a lot from standard then they changed the Map on them. I'm guessing so the JCW popped more. My R56 GP loved to pop and bang at any chance ! F56 do as well even the coopers now and again.
To be fair you can get R50 Ones and Coopers to pop with some hard driving
My r53 GP with a Janspeed mani and decat would pop bang and flame on over run lol
I think it's acceptable for cars to cackle and pop if they've been redlined but when you see one popping when at 4k it's a bit sad. Decatted rx-8s make mental ones if redlined with 2 foot flames.
I heard some banging in a car park a while back but couldn't see what car was causing it, must have been cringe worthy for them as I couldn't hear any revving or clutch slipping so I assume they weren't doing it on purpose.
I wonder if you could get a section 59 for inadvertently causing a nuisance?

Why? If I'm driving at revs over 4K, then I'm probably having fun! If I'm driving around town or commuting, I'll normally stay under 4K ... Mine burbles at lower RPM, but if it popped all the time, I think it would get quite annoying!Enricogto said:
Question for you?
Why does the S54 not pop and bang? I managed only once on mine after 20 miles of alpine passes at special stage speed..... Standard exhaust btw.
You need to visit Hayward and Scott! Here's a H&S custom GT exhaust on a Z4M:Why does the S54 not pop and bang? I managed only once on mine after 20 miles of alpine passes at special stage speed..... Standard exhaust btw.

This one is now mine this was taken just before I bought it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybWyUpxxKGI
I confirm I swapped back to straight through cans (as they are in the video) as soon as possible!
My Vantage V8VS does it with the exhaust valves open, luckily I can shut them round town so it doesn't draw too much attention (unless I feel otherwise ).
I love the sound and more often than not the "giggle" button is on.
I can see how it winds up (or even scares) pedestrians, it does also create the false impression you are flying along

Clio 172 will do it, at least with the K-Tec Stealth exhaust and standard cat (and standard map) and if you give it a good spanking.
There's a sickeningly popular map that makes them do it all the time but that's just sad.
Deliberately mapped as standard on so many cars these days.
If it's not natural then don't bother

It was one of my favourite features on my Racing Puma, especially through a stainless steel exhaust - absolutely superb.
My R56 Cooper S had a nice (if slightly artificial sounding) exhaust note. It could be coerced into some quite loud pops/bangs occasionally, although it never sounded as great as the Puma.
The last three cars I've had (Clio 182, MX-5 and Civic Type R) have all sounded like hairdryers in comparison.
