After seeing a lot of videos I'm starting to think it is backfiring too much. I know they probably made it with intention to sound badass but seriously if you go for a long trip doesn't it get annoying after a while?

I own a motorcycle and it sounded like that when I was upgrading it with a stage 3 kit and the air/fuel ratio was way too rich. In the long run that is not good for the motor and you miss out of a lot of ponies because of that also. After dialing it in it stopped backfiring and sounded and drove much better.

I'm starting to have my doubts...I really like the looks but for 150k USD for the R version (in Mexico) it needs to be perfect.

 

My ftype mostly backfires when the engine is cold or if I rev hard, then suddenly let go. Otherwise it is perfectly acceptable.

The upside of backfire in Mexico is that no criminal would dare to car jack your ftype as they would think you are shooting at them with a gun.

 

Lol true that...
