    rapping-popping from exhaust

    gradually over the past 6 months my 51 8ba with dual exhaust has been rapping and popping from the exhaust. This only happens when backing down in second or third gear and can get pretty loud. The car has Cherry Bomb glasspacks but did not make this noise for the first three years. Could they...
