Default Shift pop

Have a 2013 street glide, Boneshaker slip ons, decat headpipe, screamin eagle ventilator, and a fp3. Almost every time I shift I get one pop, sometime loud sometime quiet all different rpms. Have went back and forth with vance and hines Installed multiple tunes, changed exhaust gaskets checked for leaks still does it. Is it just how it is or do I have an issue? Thanks in advance any help will be appreciated

Some decel pop is common with aftermarket pipes. Sounds like you could have a tuning issue though if it’s happening as much as you said, assuming there are no exhaust leaks.

Some decel pop is not only common, if it doesn't happen you're most likely running too much fuel.

Yea I have a little decel pop when slowing down, the pop I have when upshifting is what I’m trying to figure out. When I roll off the throttle to up shift I get one pop. Thanks for the replies

Did you check for leaks at the header pipe and muffler connection?

There is a decel enleanment setting in the fp3 that can be tweaked which may help. Prior to picking newly added exhaust options when I had a stage 1 with the fp3, I messed with those settings and it helped some
