is this normal?

I noticed when I'm either in 1st or 5th gear boosting @ about 7-10psi, a little after I let off the accelerator the car backfire's pretty loud. Does this sound normal? Below, I've listed information about the car and what I have. Any help would be great.

There ya go. That's what's "causing" it. Nothing to be concerned about.

Mine are more blue-ish at the tip, turning to yellow about 6 inches to a foot away from the tip.
