Default Popping with pipes?

I've put V&amp\\;H slash cut 2 to 1 on my bike with SE heavy breather, SE racetuner and had it Dyno'd.&nbsp\\; It pops on Decell.&nbsp\\; People on here have stated in the past that is a problem.&nbsp\\; I've also heard that is normal.&nbsp\\; They are loud and sound great(popping and all).&nbsp\\; But I don't want to hurt anything either.&nbsp\\; What's up?

Do a search on decel popping. This is probably the most talked about topic beside fingerless gloves.

I have basically the same set up as You.
I love the noise on decel. It reminds Me
of My old Chevy!&nbsp\\;If it is the same popping
that a lot of guys are complaining about then
I am OK with it! But thats just Me!!

A lot of the popping problems are found to be because the closed throttle position was not established for the race tuner.
