Sorry for the stupid question but......

When I rev my car high a few times in neutral or when I'm driving between 1st and 3rd and I get the RPMs up high and let off the gas without shifting. I get these pops and little flames shooting out the tailpipe. That's backfire right? Bad thing right?

no no. this is a good thing, good for scaring ricers and small children. what mods does your car have??

Cold air intake(Crooked Willow, kinda ghetto), Down pipe, resonated mid-pipe, Racing Beat cat-back, PFC, 850 primarys, good plugs and wires.....nothing too major.
