Default backfire ?
I had just started my car and reved it once or twice and what sounds like a backfire to me. Could it be just a cold start thing? It never does this at any other time and other than free mods she stock. I think.

Mine does that once in a while, especially on a restart after only a couple miles and still cold...without any reving. Backfire or just a couple popping noises?

On a cold start for about the first 2min of driving, if I rev, it will backfire like crazy! Pretty sure its normal.

I was thinking of changing my fuel filter at 39k a good idea? She runs real good and no kinda smell at all. But she didnt backfire at all today.

I bought my car with aftermarket exhaust. Im pretty sure its a flow, but not completely sure. It has backfired on me every single day since I've had it. BTW only right after I start her up. Gotta love the sound of a shotgun in the morning
