Angry Backfire on start up?

My car sometimes backfires on startup. Loud like a shotgun. Is this caused by an intake or exhaust leak? I'm afraid to start my car when there are people behind me. LOL! It was cool at first but its getting annoying.

Thanks, Ed

I havent done anything to mine except my timing is set at full advance. But on your blow-thru set up, ask Rob for his recommendation.
