My bone stock 2012 pops a bit when I let off the throttle. I like it. Not real loud but sounds cool.

I was actually about to ask the same question. I'll check the link when I get back to my iPad, I'm on a work comp right now, it's blocked.

Mine has been popping on decel, always did, even stock. My milage is consistently 50mpg. I have been running V&H Big Radius 2-2 for over 10k miles now, but the popping seems like it has gotten worse over the last few days. Could be my imagination?

Everything else is stock in the engine.

Just read the link. Awesome info.

For what it's worth, I find I can eliminate almost all popping by letting all the way off the throttle when shifting.
