exhaust popping?

Is exhaust popping or small backfires usual with headers and no cats? I get some pretty loud backfire / pops during deaceleration. Im running o2 sims and have all the emissions hooked up. Will a tune get rid of it? Sounds ugly heh.

Re: exhaust popping?

a tune should get rid of it. I know stock manifolds and cats pop like a biatch, mine did when i got my dynomouth. But that's just air being sucked back into the exhaust.

Anyway yeah a tune should definetly fix it.

If it happens when you get off then back on the throttle, that's normal.
