Default Loud BANG on startup

Hi everyone, I was just wondering. I hadnt started my car in about a week and a half or so. I go to start it up and as soon as it starts up I hear loud pop/bang noise, almost like a loud backfire POP noise. I only hear one bang though, right when the car started. It did not seem to come from the exhaust out back, but more under the car and under me or around me, but pretty sure it wasnt from back out the exhaust tips. I was scared to run the car so I let it idle for maybe 1 minute at the most then just shut it off and took my moms car.

Any ideas??

There have been other times where I havent started the car in a week or so but its never done this.

Its a H/C 02 WS6, true duals, usual bolt ons, etc. I have cats before the xpipe and believe i may be running a little too rich, but still, never did it before.

Pop or Bang not too bad. Kahboom very bad! As long as it only happened once and wasn't a metal on metal sound you're probably OK.
