Have you tried sitting in the car in neutral, constantly revving it to about 4000rpm? Thats when i can hear mine best.

I have found that it pops more when the engine is cold. Once it warms up it not so loud.

Also, i think from inside the car it is really hard to hear, cos a couple of R56 Cooper S's have driven past me when i was walking and as they slow down they pop and crackle away. But i can't ever hear mine do it when i'm driving.

Yours more than likely does, you just can't hear it from inside.
