Drivetrain how do you get rid of the back fire noise?

better learn to deal with it, your not gonna get rid of it unless you put some very quiet mufflers on it.
the poping sound its just going to happen, until you muffle the sound. every car does it, you just cant hear it becasue the exhaust systems muffle it.
Most people like the popping sound after chaning out the header and putting an exhaust on, it sounds meaner.

Seems to me...
you didn't do much research before you bought your car and had upgrades installed. It's common knowledge the mcs gets that great popping sound right off the lot and it's also common knowledge the upgrade of the exhaust you got does the same. What were you thinking?
You get rid of it by buying the standard Cooper. Mine doesn't pop at all. Wished it did though.

wow
this is a first... i have never seen anyone complaining about the popping noise!
everyone including me seems to like it...
but in any case... like (not-so-rednwhitecooper) said is very hard unless you put on some very quiet mufflers... and i think the price for all of it will be alot more than to stand the noise...
good luck with that
haha

A good resonator will improve things...
But it won't eliminate it.
But it's just a fact of engine dynamics. When I first got my mustang, it has 18" glasspacks. Downshifting into second sounded like shotguns going off! I would set off car alarms, and my Mom knew when I was coming buy a minute or so before I got to her house.

Like most others here I LOVE the burbble, pop burbble. I've got a magnaflow & soon I'll have a header too. Can't get enough of the sound.
Go for the stock exhaust. Either get rid of the Miltek or aquire an additional resonator. That should calm it down, but won't eliminate it. Its one of MINI's charms
