ihave done search after search and so far this could be wuts causing it. it happens after high rev then i step on the clutch and it pops out the exhaust not intake.

Could be:
bad injector
burnt spark pplug wire
ignition coil
timing
i have a list some where of all the possible causes probably post tomorow if the list is found. any other suggestions of wut it could be
i also figured that its not the ionjectors or the intake would be popping and its not timing cause i figure that if timing was bad id have a bad idle also . are all of my assumptions correct thanx!

i'd check the timing first, then pull a few of the plugs and have a look

Exhaust leak is what it sounds like to me. Mine pops when I let off and leave it in gear. Is it really loud, like a shotgun? If so dont drive it.
