Backfire
it there any way to stop the backfiring on my rs? i think its blown up like two mufflers, and i dont wanna replace it if its just gonna get blown out again.
it backfires when i let off the gas at pretty much any rpm (but louder with higher rpms)

Re: Backfire
Do the easy fix first and check your ignition timing. If your ignition timing is good, then check your cam timing. I'd start there.

Re: Backfire
yes - the exhaust is the symptom - you need to fix the cause, which is a tuning issue of some kind. Check the basics, ignition, timing, fuel, spark, a/f ratio, etc.
Re: Backfire
You need 3 things for a backfire, heat, fuel, oxygen - You are getting excess fuel, but you need air to ignite that fuel, leaking exhaust system will cause the ignition.. Or maybe you do not run a tailpipe?
