What causes engine poping on decell

When i let off the gas, my engine pops and backfires slightly. I thought it was because i had no cat. I put a cat on, and it stll does it. Is this normal with headers?

Its raw fuel gettign into your exaust. Usually happends when the cats are cold but it can commonly happen with cats especially if there high flow.

Closed throttle spark advance is set to high. This can be changed with LT1 Edit version 2.2.

Why change it? I have LTs with purple hornies and I think the noise and the flames are badass.

Thats cool. Mine actually won,t pop and crackle unless I lightly touch the gas pedal on deceleration but I think it sounds wicked.
