I've noticed recently on overrun, such as approaching a junction coasting in gear. The exhaust is crackling an awful lot, actually it's almost like lightning striking, it's pretty loud to be honest.

Now I like it, but the wife aint impressed and the other day it scared some small kids playing.......i felt really bad

Anyone know how i can get it to be quiet on overrun ?

The car is an e30 with M52B28 with tubular headers and BTB stainless system

Thanks.
