Exhaust popping/banging
« on: 02 August 2014, 23:36 »
Noticed the other day after getting a full system put on that if i am going at 3-4k revs and tap the throttle sometimes it pops and bangs.

I know its just unburnt fuel but can this mess anything up and break something if I am messing around trying to scare bus w*nkers?
