how about blowing up a perfectly good muffler?

i wasn't planning to invest in a new exhaust yet (was hoping to go with the magnaflow x-pipe system in a couple years) but now i gotta do something 'cause i had the distributor at 180 from power stroke top dead center and the power lead on the negative stud on the coil. truck backfired like a 24 pounder long gun on the uss constitution and my dad and i both thought we were dead for a second. anway....it popped both ends open on the muffler like a big beer can under pressure!!!
