sorry for the confusion guys. like i said i'm not sure how to describe it. it's probably not from the engine itself. i believe the infiniti dealer's explanation was it's the noise cause by metal parts expanding/contracting after hard driving. hope that helps in understanding what i'm talking about.

I have hear my car pop & crack after a hard drive. Mostly when brand new. I certainly wouldn't describe it as exploding noises. I think mine was the exhaust system and heat shields. Not the engine. It seldom does it now.

If you want to hear these noises, go and stand next to an Impreza WRX after it's been driven hard and switched off. These noises used to be very loud (I bought it brand new, but it still did it after 12k miles). I would not have described them as 'engine exploding' noises though!

It's the differential contraction of the various bits cooling down.

Just thought- do you US guys have Imprezas?
