In your case an occasional backfire is all good. I mean the only damage your doing if any is to the cat. Besides that i wouldnt worry about it

Mine has backfired a few times, normally while shifting. But its okay, as long as its not alot n very few/random its not harmful. Now if its while ur giving it gas n it backfires is bad or backfires alot. :) I kinda like it n wanna go catless :p
