My buddy just installed slp longtubes w/ an x pipe and no cats. Now my car is backfiring really loud and frequently under normal driving. Car has stock exhaust (99 frc) any input is appreciated.

An x-pipe and a tune may help.

Sounds like a blast! Maybe I should go with no cats when I get long tubes.
