The most common way to get tuned backfires is by pouring excessive fuel into the exhaust so you can actually hear it.

I can't even.
Backfires are when the combustion comes BACK into the intake manifold. 99% of the time this results in catastrophic failure.
An afterfire is when your dumb pops comes AFTER the combustion chamber, in the exhaust.
