Backfiring?
My LC V8 exhaust growl "popped" during fairly aggressive acceleration yesterday. Is this backfiring? It did it again when starting the engine today. I'm using only premium fuel. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, I have experienced this as well, mine is not backfiring, it is just a cackle that is occurring in the exhaust system from fully unburned fuel. If you feel that it is different than that I would take it in for a check.

Thanks guys. Good to know it wasn't just my vehicle that's experiencing this from time-to-time. I kinda like it too - reminds me of my first non-catalytic converter 1972 Camaro. I was surprised since I always thought catalytic converters were supposed to prevent this from happening. And I don't recall any reference to this occurring in any of the hundreds of reviews/videos I watched before purchasing the LC. It doesn't happen consistently (only twice that I noticed), which has me wondering whether it's intentional or if the LC brain isn't always as smart as it could be.
