If it means anything...I have the "Popping Noise" on my FlowMaster system.
I found that the exhaust manifold bolts keep coming loose every 200 miles
due to the fact that Dodge decided not to put on any Exhaust Manifold
Gaskets. (Not a big thing...just keeps the bolts a little more snug.) Once
they're tightened again...no popping.
I'll probably pull them all out and put a little locktite on them just to
keep'em in place when i'm not feeling lazy.
