Guys,

I've got a L99 2SS/RS and almost every time I start the car, whether a cold start or after it is warm, the exhaust makes a "Popping" type noise, almost like a backfire. It's done it consistently since I've gotten the car, almost seems like it does it more often now. I've got ~1750 miles on her and I've done an oil change at 500 miles and 1500 miles hoping that it would help correct the problem. Is anyone else seeing this? I can deal with the fact that the car might be a little slower than advertised, I don't really plan on racing it much ever, but the "Popping" exhaust when I start it or take off fast makes me look like an idiot if I want people to be impressed with my new baby...I think you guys know what I mean...Anyone else experiencing this or had any resolutions yet? Also, anyone else find the oil dipstick in this car particularly hard to read? I had to dip it about 6 or 7 times before I was comfortable with the reading....

Thanks,

Y2J
