Backfiring after installation of hi-flow K&N filter

My car now (sometimes, not very often though) backfires. Very loud pop, you can even feel the gas pedal shudder. Usually from neutral to 1st on very low RPMs. It is highly annoying! Also it seems to me that my MPG got worse. Funny, I actually thought that installing after market air filter would IMPROVE it. what's wrong? Has anyone here experienced the same problem? -------------------- '94 ST

Unless a sensor or mechanical failure somewhere. -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~
