Also depends on the "pop" and when it occurs. I had a "metallic" pop at all
speeds but it got noticeably louder upon acceleration and was barely
noticeable at idle speed. I could feel the exhaust gas puffing at idle. It
turned out to be a pinhole leak on one of the "shelves" of the exhaust
manifold. It was successfully welded shut and have not had a problem since.
