Sounds like popcorn?

My car has been giving me some trouble with hesitating and back fires and making weird pops and diffrent things, MY friend was behind me said I shot a flame out my right tail pipe and it sounded like a gun shot. so I changed out my O2 sensors hoping that would help they didnt look to hot when I did my header install. but Iw as listening to it tonight and it sounds like there is popcorn poping out of my right tail pipe? Any ideas is what that is could one of my plug be bad I just replaced them so idk what it is any one have any good ideas that would be awsome thanks alot!

I'd look for a cracked spark plug, especially if you left them in during the header install.

Have you been tuned since the header install? You're definitely running too rich. Hence the backfiring from the extra fuel igniting in the exhaust.
