I live rural on mountains back roads with very few LEGAL passing zones. Some LEGAL zones are over 5 miles apart!
Get some road hog clown ahead of you and you got to pass you want to do it fast and get back on your side of the road. Put it to the floor and if your lucky you get the "backfire" right next to the slowpoke driver,
it most certainly wakes them up!

have never heard a pop or backfire on my car or any car when accelerating, i would be very nervous about that, unless it is just loading up from tooling around and then when you decide to hit it a month later, may be possible. have never heard it from my car on regular ****, granny **** or no lift shifting. interesting.

When you hit 3rd you're only going about 93. Of course I've never done this, but it is in the manual.

I guess I'm lucky as I also get it on 2-3 also

since I dropped the Borla in my GS... still get the brap on heavy accel but when I let up on throttle to coast up to a light it's like the forth of July with multiple rumbles of back pressure .. that alone is worth the price of admission ..
