The popping sound is normal, almost every boost honda get it. some people have cat and resonator that why they dont hear it but im 3 inch test pipe and 3 inch exhaust, i can hear it clearly. mine backfire almost every 2 second so your fine.

Im sure my car is fine, it hondata tune for 12:1 A/F at WOT and around 15:1 A/F idling. As i said some people have cat and resonator which absorb those sound , since im jsut running basically straight pipe i can hear it clearly.

Before I got tuned, I was running a base map. At idle it would pop occasionally. Now that it is tuned, there is no popping at all. My downpipe is short as fawk also. Perfect idle, no stumbles
