Firecrackers sound from car was misfire?
Hey guys, was driving normally and all of a sudden a large firecracker sound came from the car. I don’t know if it was actually me because it sounded like it was behind me and I saw blue smoke coming from another cars tail pipe but just wanted to make sure. I do have long tube headers and run e85. I am tuned as well. No check engine or wierd idle or wierd shift points happened after that noise happened. Was able to drive home normally. First time I’ve heard this since I got these mods on 3 months ago. Any thoughts

I've seen older vehicles collect fuel in the muffler and when it finally ignites, makes a loud explosion. Not sure how feasible that is with these cars, though. Could your tuner possibly be running it a little rich?

Well the car has been sitting there for 4 days with a quarter tank of e85 which was like 2 weeks old. Went and put some new e85 that same morning and after that it made a Loud pop. Maybe that’s what triggered the fuel that was stuck onto the muffler to ignite. I got no check engine or nothing. Runs fine

We were not there. You were there and it sounded like the car behind you. Sure. If your car is not driving any differently and/or is not throwing a code, then it WAS the car behind you. Relax and enjoy.
