My little brother had a '70 honda civic back in the day that would spit out a bang with the best of them. He would get it going, turn off the ignition, coast for a second, then fire it up. Bang! Instant muffler delete.
Anyway, I've always had the impression that if you knew what you were doing, tuning wise, your car ran smoothly and correctly. Pops and bangs were evidence of incompetence or the imminent death of a vehicle as in the movie "Uncle Buck".
