It used to be easy to make a vehicle backfire but it could blow out mufflers. I don’t know if modern computer-controlled engines can.

Yes it used to be easy. You would turn off the ignition, and let it coast for a few seconds still in gear.
When you turned the ignition back on, it would backfire really loud. Oh, and yes it was rough on mufflers.

My brother could make his older car backfire. He would turn the key off and then on again while we were driving down the road. I believe the ignition would cause the exhaust gasses to ignite inside the muffler.

It used to be easy to make a vehicle backfire, but now days it if you did such a EPA SWAT Team would raid your house un the middle of the night!
