The gas, from dead stop to 70. Then on the decel the low pop out the rear.
Anyone have any ideas? :confused:

I have corsa touring. They been on for about 2 years and I've never heared this thud type pop. Actually I've never heared any noise before now and I've been driving wot for years. But the noise is coming from the rear. Can anyone help? :confused:

It sounds like its an exhuast issue, you should be able to hear if it is coming from the exhaust or if its something in the rear end. Do you have an X-pipe?
I'm willing to bet that your exhaust is looseningn up a bit and starting to produce some back fire poping which is no big deal, just annoyig to some

Popping on decel is common on C5's with aftermarket exhaust. I'm surprised you haven't heard it up until now. An x-pipe will reduce it somewhat.
