Thats right. It does not hurt the car at all. it happens a lot with people running o/r midpipes, just the gas buring up. I personally like the sound.

thanks for the reassurement...yea mine is kinda loud but then again im running o/r pipes....also i think i know it only seem to do it in 3rd....because my 1 to 2 shift is fast and i dont think it has enough time to back fire while me shifting to 3rd it takes me a lil longer which is why the backfire happens right? i wonder if i can see fire at night when it backfires....
