Default Series 2 back fire

When accelerating hard from 35-45 and 70-80mph my car is back-firing, but when beyond 80mph it only goes up to 104mph, at max speed i can hear a burring sound... Any idea's???

not sure what sort of back firing it is but its always worth checking the plugs first and that they are gapped correctly!
