my exhaust pops after i get on the gas hard and let off after a while... and also a little when im rolling the stop lights.  But it doesnt do it as long as i am on the gas or just setting there. Its 2.5" piping to a neuspeed muffler i think.. it has to tips and they point up at an angle any help why it does that?

I think those are small backfires (guessing)  sounds like your running a little rich.  If I'm right, you should get your o2 sensor checked (or replaced) and possibly get the MAF checked.  may just need a tune up w/ some new spark plugs.

Yup, that's a backfire. It's pretty common with some aftermarket exhausts to get backfires, the N1 dual especially. Check the O2 sensor, but if that doesn't fix it, I'd just live with it... pretend it's an anti-lag system. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Don't worry too much about the backfire. I think its kinda cool and the N1 dual is infamous for backfires from what i hear but I don't know about Neuspeed dual tips. Basically take the backfire as a compliment. When your exhaust works efficiently it is pulling instead of pushing. &nbsp;When it pulls so much exhaust out it turns into a vacuum then when you dump the throtle it needs to regulate the air pressure and it sucks air back in the exhaust, viola a back fire. &nbsp;I wouldn't worry too much unless it is happening alot and the worse thing that can happen, from what I know, is you may blow out a gasket
