i have a 96 240sx s14 and it runs perfect as far as i know, when im driving and and i down shift then let out the clutch the car de accelerates of course but it kinda makes a popping sound kinda like pop pop pop but when im accelerating nothing, is this something i should be concerned about or do all of em do this?
im running a straight pipe with a greddy exhaust and tip if that helps.. also took it to a exhaust shop and he said everything things good no leaks of cracks in the pipe, thank you for any input!
