Can we be done with burble tunes?

[Knowklew]

Just wanted to rant about the awfulness that is a burble tune on any car. I'm an equal hater.

Why did these become so popular? I hope this is a fad that dies soon.

Man is this the truth

People do it for the gram

my 17yo self would fucking love a burble tune and stupid loud exhaust.... these days not as much. It’s just a sign of being grown up.

Darn kids and their burbly loud exhaust! Get of my lawn!

 

[Knowklew]

I have seen a wide variety of cars with these tunes, so I dont think it is specific to young kids

 

[Spivitz]

Seriously never heard of burble tune

I'll Google

I hear a focus ST every day with this shit and I want to punch whoever it is directly in the face.

 

[Spivitz]

Oh, right

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Never heard of it so googled. Seems to be a popular bmw thing? Don’t know why you’d want your car to sound broken.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Burble and Ghost cam tunes are rather ridiculous

 

[DanJ]

Pops and bangs tunes are cancer.

 

[Mook]

Pops and bangs tunes are cancer.

So horrible

Seemed like my mustangs always had decel pops and bangs but I think it’s just the nature of the beast, my truck does it too but not as bad I’m guessing because it has a y pipe

The focus RS has a mild factory burble tune. #BlameFord

I always thought the pops and bangs on decel were a normal thing for some cars...SS, Scat Pak, etc...I didn’t realize there were tunes that allowed you to have that...I initially thought it was going to be the lopey idle that was all the rage on Coyotes when they first came out to imitate big cams...

I think there's a fine line, and most people go WAY over it That's one of the reasons I want to go with BM3 for my bmw, you can completely tweak every aspect of it and dial it WAY back if you want, or even have different settings for sport and sport+ modes. So you can tweak one to be normal, and one for douche mode if you really want to.

Its that Rally sound from the anti-lag noises they make on decelerations.

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as a V8 that does it naturally.

Its not so bad though, it only does it 1-3 times on a WOT upshift above 4000rpm. So its not really any more prevalent than a V8 that does it naturally.

Though V8's sound way better when they do it, especially naturally.

its basically fucking with timing and fuel under no load deceleration. The term is 'overrun' or 'deceleration fuel cut off' when looking at fuel/timing tables.

There’s some kid that goes up and down County Farm rd (which runs behind my house) about 8-10x a day and night on throttle/off throttle/on throttle/off throttle/on throttle/off throttle the whole fucking way, totally intentional. The popping is excessively loud and reverberates for a good mile.

Want to pull him out of his car by his tongue and smash his head through the fucking windshield until he’s an unidentifiable mess then shove his fart can or straight pipe up his ass sideways.

Except it’s not anti lag so you look like a fool.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

I dont care for it

Yeah my GTO does enough of it on its own w/out any help I'm sure I've probably made more than a few people almost jump out of their cars. USUALLY not on purpose......usually..

 

[LikeABauce302]

My boss 302 pops and burbles on decel because of the quad exit exhaust setup. The sound annoys me sometimes. I can't imagine how bad it would be with a tune to intentionally cause it.

 

[willizm]

I get a slight burble on decel but no pops and bangs. That’s what rolling antilag is for

I'm not saying go out and get one. Stock the RS doesn't do what you are complaining about.
