you dont really build up pressure there like that like if you timing is off your airfilter will pop because your plugs are firing at the wrong time which is making the filter pop bit like a back fire

normaly poping through the inlet side (i.e through your filter rather than your exhaust) would normaly mean that the engine is running bery lean. get it checked out could be the start of a major problem if not sorted soon.
