Burble for MC?

If one took an ECU flash from a MCS, would it give the properties of the burble like the MCS has?

I don't think that would work because it is set up for a supercharger. An air intake and exhaust would be the best bet I think.

All the burble is though is an extra 'squirt' of gas.

I can get a little burble from my Miltek at low RPM's. Example: It's late and I'm comming home grom my girlfriends place. No on is on the streets and there I am alone at a stoplight. I blipp the throttle to about 2000-2500 RPM, and I'll get a little "pop pop!" The only other time I get a burble from my MC is on a spirited canyon run. I can hear a slight poping sound from my exhaust, but never really researched it, for all I know it could be come other noise!!

I get a burble with my Megan. It was more pronounced on my 04 with the JCW Sound Kit. The software remap helped with that.

My Remus exhaust burbles very well. Not a whole lot of popping (don't know if I would want that anyway) I do not have the software upgrade yet but am going to get it. I hear it makes it more pronounced.

I love the sound of your exhuast. Do you have any vedio clips from the inside of the car? and how much does it drone at high way speed ? (basicaly below 2500 rpms)

I get a little burble with just a drop in green filter. An exhaust would definately make the most difference. Too bad I'm going to be trading in my MC for an MCS soon...so it would be stupid for me to buy an exhaust system.

I love it too

There is some drone at certain speeds but if you are at about 5% throttle on the highway it is fine, closed throttle and 10%-15% you can get drone though. It doesn't really bug me, because I like driving with the windows down and radio on. If you are one of those people that any drone bugs you, I would try and get a ride with someone that has a magnaflow, otherwise I think you are prolly good.

I have some other videos as well. Do a youtube search for my username "UKCoopeR" and they should come up.

Good Luck

I get a nice burble with the JCW Sound Kit exhaust. It's very deep and I like it better than the stock S burble.
