Re: [doc] Rich H and Chrispy to the rescue :o)

Mine pops and cracks like a champion but if it does backfire, nobody's 
seen it. Most of the other stage 1's have the stainless exhaust which 
pops and crackles anyway. Hawsey's has a slightly different setup but 
the effect is the same - and we all know what that sounds like (when 
it's not dragging on the floor :-D

One of the surprising things for me at Eurofest was hearing so many 
exhausts popping and banging. I could hazard a guess that it has a lot 
to do with cats vs no cats. Bare in mind the effect on an auto will be 
much less.
