not sure... anytime ive ever had a popping noise in the exhaust, one of the valves were stuck. Might not be valve damage, possibly just a valve spring and/or roller rocker.

How consistent is it? Can you even drive it?

Check your plug wires. Mine did this for about a month before I figured out that the rubber insulation on the outside of the plug wire was burnt, but nothing else was. I just happened to see it arching in the dark on night. It ran fine, but had a very random, and quiet backfire at idle.
