backfiring
so on a cold start up, if i rev anywhere over 2500 rpms, on the way back down, ill get some fierce backfire popping. some may like it. it scares the hell out of me.
after about 5 minutes of running, it will all but disappear.
any reason for this? any way to prevent it?

RE: backfiring
I think it's the nature of the beast. When I had my factory muffler on there, when it was cold (meaning the engine, not outside) and I reved it, it would pop. I've since gotten a Flowmaster AT, and that popping is even more fierce. I don't think that pop is a "true" backfire, but I could be wrong. A backfire sounds more like a gunshot rather than that gurgling pop.

RE: backfiring
perhaps it has something to do with the equality of the cold air outside and the hotter air coming out from the engine. i dont know. either way, i would like to know if there's anything that can be done mechanically.
