   Ive got a 1.1 mk1 saxo, ive recently fitted an induction kit and sportex exhaust. The problem is, is that every time i decelerate my car makes a popping noise. Is this doing any damage to my engine? sounds awsome but if its going to cause me problems would like to get it sorted!

   No, it does no damage at all! Its just running a bit rich thats all!
   
   You can make it pop louder by finding a big hill, coasting about 15mph then letting the clutch up really slow in second then let it engine break all the way!
   
   POP POP, BANG, POP, BOOM!!
   
   I wish mine popped more!!
