Just let it keep farting. It looks cool. 
Maybe too rich?
I don't know if your car is turbo, but if you have a BOV that is vented to the atmosphere, there will be miscalculation on the amount of air going into the engine. If the BOV is not vented back to the air intake pipe, your ECU will think there's more air going into your engine than actual. So it'll providing more gas whenever your BOV opens up(i.e. when you're shifting) and your car will run rich. If it's already rich, the unburnt fuel might come out of your tailpipe.

Mine backfires, but since I put a BOV on it, it now backfires in multiples or not at all when it normally would. Is that normal? I have the RB w/ the 3" downpipe.

Rotary's backfire, it's the nature of their game.
