        nope. You actually want to lean it out on decel - watch your econogauge sometime. When it goes fully to the left, the injectors are totally off.

            Mine never gargles at idle, Only down shifts with pedal play. As long as this doesn't hurt anything I'm not going to try to make it stop.

                it might not be hurting anything, but it could be a sign that your car needs a tune up.

                                                My turbo car does it because it runs lean on overrun. Running rich would make more sense as a cause, but that has not been my experience.

                                                        SRT-4's can go to hell with their super annoying exhausts.
                                                        SRT-4's exhaust make many people happy when they hear them. only http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/imag...s/naziskie.gif dont like them. lol jk

                                                            Why so many srt4 hatters? Yes fwd is lame but still they are really quick cars!
