Hello, I am a newbie when it comes to exhaust systems but since I modified my whole exhaust there are few things concerning me:
My setup is PRL Frontipe+Race Downpipe(catless), Race Muffler and 3” straight. Sometimes at cold starts the exhaust begins to sputter the first 30 seconds and then clears out (I think this is product of condensation taking place). And always after shutting the car off there’s a farting sound like if the car just gave its last breath (sometimes it’s a louder sound). Also at low load (1k-2k rpms) the car sometimes hesitates like if it’s having a hard time to breathe, it’s more noticeable when going uphill, this does not happen at high load. I know it requires tuning, but I have not got a chance to take it to a professional tuner, I cleared the CEL using Ktuner by disabling secondary o2. So my question is, Is it because I haven’t tuned it yet that’s causing this?
My mechanic says that this is normal, that I don't have to worry about it. But I need someone who has experienced this and assure me everything is okay..
Sorry for my ineptitude.
