Backfires or exhaust?

pushVTEC · Feb 21, 2002

I have a tanabe racing medallion and i didn't think about this much until recently, but when i rev sometimes or i go to shift gear and my engine revs down i hear a slight pop. i don't know if it's a backfire, i would have thought they woud be louder than this. any ideas on what else it could be? i was thinking maybe it was just the way the exhaust was designed.

Your exhaust is farting.. it's normal, haha

haha, j/k.. So I've been told, that is caused by too much back pressure.. I'm not sure why it's happening to you though, b/c the point of aftermarket exhaust systems are usually to lower back pressure..

hell too much backpressure with a tanabe rm without silencer? lol i just wanted to make sure it wasn't a backfire i was pretty sure it wasn't but better safe than sorry. i love my RM, nice deep sound with noticeable pull up top.

ive got an auto with a tanabe rm and i get the same thing, if i slam the gas and then let it up a bit as the tranny shifts.... the thing puts out a perfect 3 stutter fart

yeah it's normal, it's just the tone of the exhaust doing a slight fart as others have mentioned above

lol...I love our fart cans...I like how some people say their exhaust is so deep and smooth INSIDE the car, but when you hear it outside it's all tinny and farty and shit sounding.
