    Default backfiring/spitting due to new extractors?

    Hey guys, had extractors on for around 3-4weeks and all of a sudden the car is spitting and backfiring under pressure. I can't spot the issue. but heard that after a few weeks it's a good idea to get your extractors tightened again cos they have begun to adjust to your system? that sound right? Also maybe the guys i went to just didn't tighten them enough?

    my bet would be if u changed the plugs yesterday and it wasnt missing b4 u changed the plugs then they may be faulty take them out and check them for cracks on the porclain also check where the gap is if that piece which sticks out moves plug is faulty
