What causes an exhaust tail pipe to backfire?
An exhaust tail pipe backfire is caused by an excessive amount of un-burnt fuel remaining in the exhaust system or fresh air being allowed to enter the system which ignites a small amount of un-burnt fuel. If fresh air is allowed to leak into the exhaust system it will ignite the un-burnt fuel inside the system creating a popping noise.
