i run 110 octane leaded race gass everywhere i go and mine does the same thing because it is runs rich.... is it a little backfire or a big boom...... are you running an open exhaust?.... if you are and you are just a little rich then you will backfire..... just my $.02

I've seen this on 2.25" and bigger crush bent exhausts, is yours a magnaflow exhaust or just a muffler? Also sounds like maybe you should check your o2 sensor if you're running too rich. Do you ever get code 1?
