ummm, backfire? what the...?
the past few days i have noticed this....if i accelerate hard in first or second (i.e. stomping on the pedal and almost hitting the revlimiter) i will get one or two small 'pops!' from the exaust. under normal accelaeration i dont get this.
i have a minnam intake and stromung exaust, and recentlly had the plugs and timing belt replaced. would the instalation of an S-AFC help out? ( i have one to put in just need to get to rallispec) thanks guys! // |

best i can tell ya is to try doing a search on 'backfire'
it's a standard issue occurrence w/an aftermarket exhaust... nothing it wrong with your car... basically the backfire/backpressure is always there... just muffled w/the stock exhaust, intake and resonator.... search and you will see you are not alone. j. www.subiegal.com |

your car is just popping. happens on all imprezas because of it's bozer engine design. no worries. A backfire is very very loud. It's like a gun shot! The popping sound happens because you have unburned gas in the exhaust pipe and the heat just caused it to explode. No biggie. I really like it.
