yea this girl i know says the same thing everytime she's in my car

and for your knowledge you don't!

the reason Rotaries are so prone to backfires is because of our hot exhaust temps and pig rich A/F ratio's .. also alot of our cars are getting old so the electronics that are supposed to shut off fuel when throttle is closed don't work very well

if you really wanna get more pops or louder ones .. get rid of all emissions including airpup, ACV, Rats nest, cats and get a stainless steel exhaust that will retain more heat thus being able to ignite your unburnt fuel much better
