Is exactly what you said backfire your setup shows exactly the reason it did that rx7s have the longest fire travel out the exhaust and with a header that ususally helps the ease of travel a little bit more. Its really nothing and im suprised it doesnt do that more

No not really i have my stock exhaust on still (but i have a dunk sitting in my room hehe) and my backfire usually makes it to the mufflers but never out well when it does make it out the mufflers it pops like a shotgun ive had neighbors ask if i was alright so you know it happens...I understand what you mean now about the whole wondering if it was your rear rotor...
