My Car is shooting lol

Ok, well lately when I start warming up my car, it sound like if the exhaust is trying to get some stuff out of it. Dose that from time to time and sometimes it makes my Idel go and up. But once the car is warm is fine it stay at 1K. I drive it fine but then I am driving hard and start decelerating like around 70Mph or so there is time it will sound like it shot something out of my exhaust. LOL! I am hoping is fire but I know my cat is not punch yet.

Any idea why my car is doing that?

Is it time for an RB exhaust system? Sorry, I don't know much about a stock 12A.

I dont think I've ever heard a rotary NOT backfire at some point or another.

They tend to backfire under engine braking/deceleration

Sounds like you got an exhaust leak somewhere.

Ya thats usually what makes it backfire. Too much air. Mine did it under hard deleceration normall, but onetime I removed my exhaust pipe to change a gasket and when I put it back on, I didn't tighten it all the way. It was like a Machine gun.
