Hmmm...maybe one of the cats just expanding and contracting (maybe someone else has a better explaination). But you stated a loud pop...? Any other symptoms? Anything wrong? Is this after the A/C has been running?

You stated that you have no cats; what other mods do you have? Do you know specifically where the pop is coming from?

sounds to me like a backfire, but ive never heard of an ohc car doing it. lack of backpressure will cause it....no cats and any high flow muffler will severely decrease your backpressure. just a thought. i might be totally wrong.

The only mods I have are o/r x-pipe and c&l plenum.. It sound like its coming from the motor.
