I think you may be on to something. I dunno if this is hindsight now, but it seems like it's happening more frequently now that it's getting pretty hot during the day, like literally every few minutes they stop for a minute.This happens to me pretty often, mos rod the time when I come to a complete stop then the pops will come back, but goes away for a minute or two after I go WOT. I also noticed that it happens more often when it’s super hot out for me. I have wondered if the bay temp impacts pops and bangs.
i dont think there's anything in the exhaust that affects the pops and bangs. as far as i understand, the pops and bangs come from the ECU tune retarding the timing and squirting more fuel on the rev hang, so it's all from the ECU/engine; meanwhile all the Active Exhaust Valve does is divert the exhaust from the 2 smaller outer pipes to the larger center one. I know what you're saying though, it "feels" like a valve or something gets stuck and unsticks itself as you keep driving.There's always a decent amount of 'soot' coming out of the center pipe. I wonder if sometimes it gets a little gunked up and reduces it's movement and then sometimes all of a sudden just blows itself out and cleans up.
for the record, i did drive a bit with my reader plugged in, and no codes or anything popped up.
