Everybody here has probably answered this question many times before but I just discovered this site... so I have a very loud back fire between gear shifts and when using engine as brake. I have a straight pipe with glasspack exhaust ( pretty much stock until where the cat used to be then I chopped it off for 2 1/2 " pipe with a single glasspack. Its loud and beautiful. A true badass sound, well anyway even before I made this modification it backfired with the stock exhaust system, just alot quieter. It's a 94 cc 4x4 5spd with about 120k so its getting up there. But still it shouldnt backfire like it does, sometimes I scare pedestrians, which is funny but at other times it sucks. It backfires more when its cold and once it gets to operating temp it hardly backfires at all. I did replace the plugs about 3 months ago with mopar stock plugs with a brand new coil, disb cap and pickup coil. There is alot of valve train knock when rapping it out so I think its gonna have some major problems before long. Plus 120K + Glasspack + 20 year old lead foot = hard driving, its still got alot of balls for high mileage but I just cant stand the backfire anymore...
Please help me out
