When someone does some altering to a vehicle anything is possible . We don't know if they stopped at dual exhausts.
You might consider starting with a good visual exam and look for what else was possibly altered.
Plugs , wires are always a good starting point. At least you know they are good. Don't forget the fuel filer. Make sure you know how to depressurize the fuel system before attempting the replacement.
.I always remind anyone working with gasoline , don't use an electrical drop light under the vehicle when changing the fuel filter. If gasoline splashes on that hot bulb, we'll be reading about you in the paper.

If it is backfiring, it is ignition, I read you state only when warm. Possibly needs a tuneup as you didn't say how many miles.
