Default exhaust popping

is it normal to get popping from the exhaust when you lift off the accelerator between gear changes. it usually happens between 1st and 2nd

depends on what set up you have. A standard car wouldnt do it. but its pretty common with a decat and other mods

I've got a 95 STI with a de-cat scooby sport exhaust and mine does it 1st - 2nd and 2nd-3rd. I thought it might be over fueling but had a chat with a few tuners and they said it was nothing to worry about.

Mines seems to pop after some hard driving.
I get flames out the exhaust sometimes aswell, is that just a case of over fueling, and nothing to worry about?

perfectly normal for a modded car, bit of a worry if it standard. I have the blitz full system and after a bit of full boost mine pops like a good un lol
If i get the gearchange right, it does do it in between gears also. I would worry if it didnt pop.

if i understand it correctly..it tends to happen if you fit a atmospheric dump valve because the car overfuels when the intake air is not recirculating back into the intake.
