ABNORMAL popping from exhaust

So I kno the exhaust pops every now and then but when I floor it and change gears around 6k rpms the exhaust pops excessively the best to describe it would be to compare it to a machine gun alotta pops all at once

I've also notice difficulty redlining when I hit the upper rpms I hear a light rattle like water spraying thought it might be my fuel pump but if I turn off the DSC completely it doesn't happen!

Any insight on this one guys!!
