Exhaust overrun bang

[wilsofar]

I've just driven my 197 very swiftly for the first time since I had a remap.(I honestly don't know if it did it before as I bought it fairly recently.)

Booting it up to 6k in second and braking suddenly still in gear at about 2k causes an enormous bang not just a slight pop.

You're all going to tell me that's normal but I fear it's going to damage something -cats/exhaust etc.

Anyone ?

I know -don't drive like that so its no problem!

I don't think there's a single person on this forum that bought a 197 to not drive swiftly, don't worry about that!!

Is it every time? Mine does it occasionally, it just makes me laugh more than anything! I'm used to a burble all the time when off the throttle but once in a while if it's in the same gear for a while it'll burble then when it hits around 2.5k it'll bang quite loudly!

Ok - fair enough I'll just be sure not to do it in front of our near neighbour who's a traffic cop!

Wish I could get mine to do that.

Would be banging at people all day long

My megane must be fucked then

It's unburnt fuel going into the exhaust on overrun, nothing to worry about.

I can imagine that because there is a flat spot they up fuelling when mapping it, hence the larger bang.
