I had the same problem when I was running a O/R H-pipe and turn downs, I had people at bus stops ducking like it was a drive by..It would scare the shit out of people. It really got old fast, more annoying then anything...ever since I installed the X-pipe and put the exhaust out back, I haven't had the problem [patriot]

Well it seems like you have too much left over fuel in the exhaust pipes. are you running with cats or a straight pipe? i know you tried turning down the fuel pressure but have you tried increasing the timing?
