Something terrifying happened!

Hey guys, I was driving normally until I was driving up a hill and I felt like flooring the car. So I turned the DSC completely off, (was driving in first gear) and floored it. When the RPM needle hit 7000 Rpm (and everything was top notch), the car did shift into second gear like usual (auto), but this time accompanied with 3 LOUD consecutive bangs that came from the exhaust "BABABA" like that; it sounded the same as 2step. So i immediatly let my foot of the gas pedal and the car started vibrating like crazy as if it was misfiring. so I parked, turned the car off for 10 seconds, started it again and everything is back to normal.
When I got to work, I parked it, let it rest for 1 hour, then checked underneath for oil or something and found nothing.

things you should know:
I have JB+, ERCP, Dci's, muffler delete.

I have also replaced the HPFP (newest serial) 4-5 months ago.

Any thoughts about this? I'm def. worried!

Are you sure it shifted? It sounds almost like it was bouncing off the rev limiter. I know the AT shouldnt do this, but if it was a misfire the car wouldve shuddered heavily as well. Please update us when possible.

It's definitely probably a misfire lol... no, but seriously try checking the codes it threw. I had the same issue. I have a cobb tune and once I reach about 15psi, I too would hear a bang and a weird note coming from the exhaust. Turning the car off def made it go back to normal, but if I punched it, I would get the same exact problem. I changed the ignition coils and spark plugs and the issue went away. You may only need to change the spark plugs, but Im at 80k and drive like a maniac, so I changed both lol

sometimes the car makes sounds like that when you get wheel spin and the traction control cuts power abruptly... but since you had it switched off, i'm not sure...

did you have it fully off (hold for 3 sec) or just DTC (single press) ?

sounds like you have a bad injector\s
it may be gone for good, but if it comes back, my money is on the injectors as I recently experienced the same

sounds like a bad misfire, you should have codes stored. If the car starts OK with no limp mode, you should be fine to drive home. Id keep throttle loads modest though. Good news is if it is a misfire, plugs and/ or a few new injectors outta take care of it.

This was my guess as well. I just had injector 6 go bad and my car was misfiring with bad pops upon deceleration.

Sounds like a misfire to me! I've had some pretty scary feeling misfires before. Most of mine went away with replacing the plugs. I still need to replace a coil or two.

It's not a misfire, you hit the rev limiter and the throttle body closed. It will cause a loud backfire.

Yes it shifted to second gear. What I noticed is that whenever I try to push the car now above 4k rpm with full throttle, the car seems to choke, So Its propably its a fuel issue (ether hpfp or injectors) but I'm gonna have my coils tested too. (I had my spark plugs changed 10k miles ago)
Yeah It shifted, the mechanic gave me an appointment scheduled to tomorrow since he had too many customers.. so luckily I'll update you guys tomorrow.

Thanks for your input, I changed my spark plugs 10k miles ago, right now I'm suspecting HPFP/injectors since its choking when I give full throttle, but I'll have my coils tested too.

Yeah I know usually I would troggle DTC off (single press) and i press on the gas and like you said, the traction control cuts power abruptly and it would make a bang too.
However, what happened yesterday wasen't normal at all. I had it fully off (3sec) and it made 3 huge bangs very similar to a subaru antilag or 2step (RAPAPAP <- like that) while shifting to second gear after hitting the redline.

That's what I did, drove it slowly and kept rpm needle under 2.5k. Going to the mechanic tomorow to read codes/get repaired.. well keep u updated, thanks for your input..

it seems that your hpfp needs replacement, because your check engine light (cel) goes on. Besides it already happened to me 3-4 months ago, car chokes (meaning lack of fuel) then starts shaking and having crazy misfires and engine light goes on, turned out that the hpfp needed replacement.
This time in my case, cel light didn't go on, this is why I'm suspecting injectors/coils etc.
