Default Car hiccups when idling...exhaust pops

okay so sometimes when it's just idling the car will hiccup...I don't know how else to explain it, it doesnt die or even act like it wants to, it's just a slight jerk, rpms drop slightly and the exhaust will make a pop every time it hiccups. You can only hear the pop if you're behind the car though....Any ideas of what could be causing this?

thanks

someone said that the exhaust popping could be from a bad fuel filter letting in rust or something...does that sounds possible?
