POP tune went sideways
 

https://imgur.com/a/KVzsI40Why was it when I went to do a pop tune on my car it looked like this?
Please help

Because a pop tune is pure garbage

Bruhs I just need assistance LOL

IMO you came to the wrong neighborhood. Better luck on a FB group.

It's a sign form the car gods to not do ricey ass stuff to your car.
Go get a good tune that doesn't do that.

I didn't mean it as just a roast. It is literally garbage. That' the thing about pop n bang tunes. It's all about dumping fuel to get those rather annoying sounds and shit. So of course it won't look 'normal' compared to other tunes. Still, if you truly are bent on keeping that garbage, ask your tuner.

you're electronically forcing a car to do things that it's not supposed to do, in ways that it can't naturally do them, specifically for your entertainment.

this is no different than shocking your dog every time it pees because the way it jumps is entertaining. eventually your dog is going to start peeing weird too.

:bellyroll:

Why do you even want a pop tune?

i think that's obvious. same as underglow, large stereos, or new wheels. for entertainment purposes.

but entertainment always has a cost. just ask friend-1 that's no longer speaking to friend-2 that stuck an m80 in the toilet before friend-1 used that toilet.

in this case, dumping raw fuel into the exhaust system so the hot cat's can ignite it and make noise is going to ruin those expensive and hard-to-get emissions components.

I used to find POP tunes annoying because they were just plain annoying. When I moved to El Paso, there are a pair of VW that LITERALLY SOUND LIKE AN AK47! The folks I hang with are either current or prior service and that shit makes us either flip our shit or jump behind cover.

i grew up next door to a vietnam vet. he didn't celebrate 4th of july, and we generally kept our fireworks 'shows' to a minimum. lots of bad memories, he was always nice to us as kids, but was always in a bad mood for weeks after 4th of july most times.

i'm near gary, indiana and chicago. if someone starts 'shooting', you best expect you might get shot back at!

I mean OP is from Oakland, must be in a good neighborhood because you'll get shot if you drive around with a pop tune in the wrong area lol.

Pop tunes seem to be getting more popular here in PDX, I hear several shit-boxes a day. The drivers look about as you'd expect as well. OP, you try the Software forum? Several threads about tard-tunes there.

Know how I know you’re going to blow up you’re engine?

Personal experience?

I've noticed this as well. It's usually popular with the younger enthusiasts. As well, when I first went to a meet out here there were 2. Last meet there were 5 or 6 of them. It's super frustrating not just because it's annoying but it brings a bad light to the community. But, at least here, I think it's just a 'cultural' thing about whose more tough or whatever they gotta do to feel better.

“Enthusiasts”. It’s a mating call.

Did someone say - mating call - :eyebulge:

Oh, did you blow off a muffler back in the day?

"Pops", more like "POWS" used to be easy, back in the day. Just cut the ignition, pump the carb a couple of times, push the accelerator all the way to the floor - then, turn the ignition back on - :D

OR - for a more lasting affect, just switch a couple of spark plug wires - :lol:

This went about as I expected.

Ok, I'll help.

First: plug in your tuning device.
Second: turn key to 'on'.
Third: flash 'stock' tune file.
Fourth: turn key to 'off'.
Fifth: unplug tuning device.
Sixth: toss tuning device in trash.
Seventh: ???
Eighth: Profit

Wrong def.

I'm no tuning expert but that table looks like it'd run like shit, which I presume is the intention with a pop tune, so... I don't see the problem?

7.

Any bets that this dude has a pop tune?
Mommy and Daddy didn't pay enough attention to me.

I am not 100% certain, but I believe if you try opening a tune with the incorrect def it will do this. Someone must have tweaked a base OTS tune for him based on the file name, but the file he has isn't based on the OTS rom def anymore.

I hope every pop tuner scene boi melts a valve.

I support the pop tune bro, keep your head up from these old farts in here

some of us live close enough to gang territory that pops and bangs mean to hide the kids and take cover... if one is so entitled to desire to make their car simulate a drive-by in this age/era of global cultural awareness, there really is no hope for humanity.

Speaking of making your car run like crap.

Probably not the best choice for giving advice.

Did someone say Oakland? Shouldn't he be going for whistles instead of pops?
Da whistles go wooooo!

Is calling them pop-tards OK? Need a "Fresh As F#ck" license plate frame to top it off.

How many headers do you have to add before they start blowing, and how many blow at a time?

I’ll allow it.

on a serious note i had one blow up, but from a professional, non-pop tune :(

I believe those come in a twin pack with the HellaFail frames.

Everyone gets yungdumfuk syndrome at some time in their life. It usually starts at about 15 years of age and lasts for about ten years.
