your suspension setup would have NOTHING to do with your engine backfiring. by you being "vented" do you mean you are venting your BOV to the atmosphere? that right there would be your reason why. your engine is running rich.


That is the problem! Recirculate that. Do you have that black carbon build up on your muffler/bumper? Do you notice the smoke come out the exhaust? Once you recirculate it, it will run soo much better. :thumb: :talon:
 
yeah i know its not my suspention,LOL i worded it wrong i was just saying how stupid the kid was he vents, gets lowering springs w/ kyb and no camber just saying he is not well educated, so this means i am gona have to get whole new intake bov so i guess i'll just get greddy ic pipes and bov which intake do u recommaned
 
well they all do the same thing. Some are a little more "bling bling" than others but you can check out www.dejontool.com that is a good site with good products but its all based on what your budget is. I bought a brand new Injen intake and that costed a pretty penny. Although now when i pop my hood i get alot of the OOOOHHH and AHHHHs. So its your choice.
