How does the RMW tune effect the exhaust burbble? I know that the later 1st gen cars had a burbble at nearly any rpm at any speed. My car barely did it ever, and I like it that way. I have just never seen anyone say what the tune does to the sound.

Our 02 burbled all the time until the tune, now there is barely any more burble at all. The car just runs awesome now.

 

The burble is only super apparent if you let off the gas quickly.

 

we might be talking about different burbles as the 02/03 doesn't have the much debated built-in "throttle lift burble" that e.g. the 05 has (as far as I know). On my 05 the RMW tune didn't change that burble, it's still there

 

The MINI in this video needs a new uprated clutch, the stock one is slipping badly...


I do not let off the gas quickly, I am smooth in my foot movement in order to keep the car balanced. Perhaps that is why I do not hear the burbble. Even when I intentionally induce trailing throttle oversteer I do not hear the burbble. It only burbbles in extreme cold below 3,000 rpm it seems.
