I recently got my exhaust done cat back, 2 1/2 inch piping with a dual magnaflow muffler. my car used to backfire a little before I had the exhaust done, but now it sounds like a bomb is going off. Any Ideas of what the problem could be, or is this normal for rotaries??

Make sure there aren't any leaks. That will also cause backfire.

yeah as it was said above, the faulty ACV and airpump usually make them backfire.
