You are using pronouns a bit too liberally.

Could you be more specific? Is it misfiring pops? backfires? exhaust 'gurgles'? 'marbles in a can'?

Is it simply not reving at all over 6,000rpm? Or does it just 'pop' when at 6,000rpm but you can go past it. If you can go higher than 6k, does it smooth out? rough? still popping?

My best guess, which may not be correct because there is no video or accurate description, is the aftermarket midpipe "popping" which is nothing to worry about.

my 04 does that too... in 1st and 2nd just over 6k it sounds alittle like a fuel cut spitting and kinda a rattle noise.

I have an 04 Rx-8 with AT-4. CAI and Greddy exhaust

On a manual trans model it is likely the engine going lean at the APV opening and/or fuel injector transition point, possibilities are fouled fuel injectors, maybe a weak fuel pump
