Default new focus st, do i have a problem?
bought a focus st2 last week from ford.

just wanted to know if what i am hearing is normal!

basicaly when the car is standing on idle, give it a little rev to about 3k and back off and on the over run the exhaust has a slight popping noise with a tiny shake, turbulance if you will. is that normal?

my pulsar does that but thats an old shit car!

The Focus ST's do seem to pop a lot, my mates had a few and they've all done it.
