Check your timing or its time for a tune up.

Do you have a catalytic converter, or exhaust? It could just be back pressure.. just little crackling and popping or BACKfiring badly?

Try adjusting your timing, run some higher octane gas,etc.

Could be a rich condition, un burnt fuel releasing into the exhaust line can create a popping noise in the exhaust piping.
