I have the Magnaflow Exhaust and it will pop when coming down after a high rev. Got it up to around 7k this mornin on the way home from work and it was quite noticeable when i shifted. Granted I had the windows down but you would have heard it even with them up. I thought myself it was out of the ordinary but after I got smoked by a CTS V8 and heard that exhaust pop, I knew it was normal.

I have a stock catback and a midpipe on my 8. While shifting gears, if I stomp the gas real hard while shifting at around 8k I'll get a boom instead of just a pop, it's pretty damn loud, sounds like a gun shot, I love it.

Can a stock 2004 RX8 backfire?
:x I cant ever tell, i hear the burble sound when driving it hard but Ive never had anyone able to tell me whether or not I get "flammage" ;]
Id love to show off like a idiot if it can do that.

Unfortunately yes. It probably makes people think my rx8 is broken.
For some reason, if I keep backfiring for a minute, vehicles start to back off behind me. I'm not sure if it is bad premix smell or whatever that causes them to start keeping their distance. Guess I'll never know but it is useful to shake those people off your tail sometimes.

If it is hot enough it will combust as soon as it reaches some oxygen, like near the tailpipe. The sudden combustion causes the pop.
A catalytic converter can break down the excess hydrocarbon before it gets to the tailpipe. This only works up to a point. Early RX-8 with overly-rich fuel maps still managed to backfire, even with catalytic converter.
