Default Question

save me alot of work guys & answer a couple of questions for me - i'm sure this has been covered many times -

I installed Corsa Indy exhaust cat back today -

1 - i'm getting allot of light back fire when i let off on the throttle? not big bangs but i'm not sure i like the poping -

2 - at idle it makes a girgling sound out the exhaust - may not be the proper definition of the sound but it's a differn't sound then i have experience in the past - if this makes since there is a nice rumble there but it just seems like there is another thing going on? as you can tell difficult for me to explain

so is there an easy answer to the above? - I'm i just hearing things? - exhaust sounds great under power - thanks in advance -
tommy

PS it's a 2002

That's normal. Mine does the same thing.
An X pipe will help that, I'm told.

I was told a tune may even be necessary to totally eliminate it in some cases.
