wondering if it could be Ur A/F ratio? Does U motor slow down as before or does it seem to coast more when U let off the gas.
mine did that after I had cams in stalled, they had to retune it again.

Most people that have backfiring look to solve the problem that is causing it. You actually want yours to sound like a poorly tuned bike?
You WANT your bike to backfire? Back firing is not a "fishtail sound", it comes either from running too rich or from having an exhaust leak. Maybe your other pipes had an exhaust leak and that's why they backfired.

I don't know what you mean by "fishtail sound", but I ride with a couple guys that have fishtails and they don't make "back firing snapping crackling popping" noises. That kind of noise on decel generally indicates an exhaust leak or a poor tune.

I have the 39", just put a power commander and it definitely has the rumbly decel. Try a different fuel map. I used the one for stage 1 air cleaner, stock ecm, and vance and hines longshots. Sounds mean. Good luck
