Default loud pop noise in high revs

ok this started to happen about yesterday when i was driving to a location. i was at the stop sign and i started taking off, M/T, in 1st gear and i step on it till about 4000 rpm because the injen sri sounds cool, anyways, right before i shifted into 2nd it made a loud poping noise i thought i ran over a bottle but i didnt. then today it did it again when i was in 2nd gear i was going in and out of the gas pedal in between 2500-3000 rpm and make a loud pop noise again.

when is causing this loud pop noise?

backfire through the intake, it's normal when you dog the crap out of your car.

I have a K&N intake and redline (6500-7000rpms) my car WOT every so often (Maybe 1-3 times a week) and I've never had this happen.

thats because the car burns up all the fuel. best way to do it is to drive at around 2000-2500 rpms for about 20-30 seconds. then hit WOT momentarily. it'll work 9/10 times.
