Default the exhaust makes a spitting noise

my dads mechanic was listening to my exhaust one day and we heard a spitting noise from exhaust. while it was idling. he told me that it is not normal that it sounds like the engine might be misfiring. I was wondering did anybody else have this problem. If so how did you fix or what did the dealer tell you.

mine does it as well. i can feel it in the idle, i dont need to hear it in the exhaust. my 300zx n/a & 300zx tt both had this idle quality too. i believe its a nissan thing. my car runs great with all the mods in my sig so im not worried about it. ill dig deeper into it when i get my dyno run.....feels a tad fat at diel but who knows........
