Pops & Bangs, Overrun Crackles & Exhaust Flames – Onyx Performance

Overrun Crackles - pop and bang tuning

If you’re looking to add more excitement to your driving experience, our Pops & Bangs, Overrun Crackles, and Exhaust Flames tuning offers the perfect solution. This feature, commonly found on modern performance cars, creates the distinctive sound of pops, bangs, and crackles when lifting off the throttle. Manufacturers have even coined terms like “Crackle Mode” and “Overrun Burble” to describe it, making it a signature feature for enthusiasts.

At Onyx Performance, we have spent countless hours developing and refining this calibration to ensure it is both safe and reliable while delivering an aggressive and engaging exhaust note.

How Pops & Bangs Work

This feature is achieved through precise tuning of the ECU, where a controlled, lean misfire is introduced when the throttle is released. The result is a series of pops and crackles from the exhaust, with the intensity varying based on engine load, RPM, and exhaust temperature. The hotter the system, the more pronounced the effect.

For vehicles with a decat or performance exhaust, the effect can be even more aggressive. Select petrol cars with cat-delete setups can also be tuned to produce exhaust flames, creating a truly dramatic experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you guys for your professional, dedicated and honest opinion. You made my day by fixing my son's car so he could use it for DoE at very short notice. Max and Kay were brilliant and I would definitely recommend this garage as a organised and trustworthy business. Keep up the good work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended Onyx to get my diamond-cut alloys refurbished. I am located an hour away but the recommendation was important so decided to leave my car with these guys. First impressions, the team were very polite, friendly (Essan, Ben and the guys that actually did the refurb in the intense heat) The prices were competitive. And the quality of work was super. There was slight miscommunication post the sale (which happens) but I was pleased they resolved this to my satisfaction. One idea I would suggest is advising the customer 'before' the work starts that the TPF valves may need replacing so we have the option to decide whether to do it whilst the wheels are off anyway rather than post refurb to avoid scratching the newly done alloys. Otherwise happy with my overall experience.
