Near a modded out car with constant backfiring during deacceleration

Is this the new cool thing?

I hear this every once in a while, usually from expensive-looking sports cars. What I hear typically is more of a rumbling series of “pops”, rather than loud backfires.

Yes it is. The pop and crackle on over run is considered cool. Like old carbureted cars with poor fuel control.

Maybe I am to old but the rice burners sound like a combo of a fart can and a wedding car with a bunch of tin cans tyied to it.

Wht are the mechanics behind the poop phenomena? advance timing? ?

Fuel injected cars shut the fuel off when the throttle is closed. The tuners let a little through and crack the throttle a bit so it lights off in the exhaust.

I saw one a couple of months ago. I was impressed. Negatively impressed.
