popping//backfiring is usually associtaed with running rich, however with a new filter and a fmic I would say there is more chance of the car running leaner....

mine pops, bangs ansd spits out flames once warm, also pops and bangs everytime i come off the throttle over 3k rpm, but its mapped to run rich.

prob worth getting it mapped to get best from mods, but if its just when your giving it beans or at higher revs, unless its misfireing, just sounds like unburnt fuel in exhaust igniting and poping so nothing to eorry about, great fun
