Raw gas getting through to the exhaust system. Any DTC codes ? Do you smell gas ? How's it run ?

You probably have an injector that is sticking open. I would get it serviced pronto before you hydrolock a cylinder. Have a mechanic pull codes and try to figure out if one cylinder is misfiring then change that injector. Don't rule out a bad COP, Boot or plug on that cylinder as well.
