Yup thats the problem. Its a rumble on decel. I have a stage 1 ness big sucker. And was told to get a pc to help with tuning... Its better but not there yet. I am thinking of just changing the slip ons with a smaller pipe fishtail???

It'd be cheaper to get a tuner than new mufflers and your bike would run better and cooler, and faster. The tuner helped a ton on mine. It's a good investment.

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?
I completely agree with the above statement, its like you are looking to detune a perfectly running bike to make it have an obnoxious decel snap and pop

i know exactly what sound your looking for and i think i know what you mean...when i first bought my bike, the previous owner already had the samson's installed but with baffles. during acceleration they were loud but quiet at constant acceleration and deceleration. when i switched to the non-baffled cholos, the biggest difference in sound between the baffled and non-baffled is during deceleration. if you're there isn't much difference between the two then there might be something wrong...fyi, i don't know if the previous owner had the bike tuned after he installed the samsons. and i have yet to get mines tuned after i installed the muffler cholos.
