It's not "back fire" in the most classic sence, since that would mean exhaust shooting out the intake. But the popping you are getting is just your newly catless exhaust gargleing. Nothing is wrong. That coupled with the BOV, and who knows, you may even be shooting out fireballs at night. Very cool.

Afterfiring. It's normal when you remove any cats, mufflers, or resonators. If your engine is running rich to boot, you may even spout a lick of flame or too. Very cool.

High Flow Exhaust???
ANy highflow exhaust systems(less cat or no cat) makes a popping noise whenever you shift gears.
I don't know if that's safe for our cars thoug. My friends' SRT-4's comes stock with high flow exhaust system and their cars doesn't even pop, it crackles.

Don't worry, afterfiring is perfectly safe for our cars. You shouldn't compare Japanese performance with American POS cars now
