Default Is this a problem, or a side effect?

Just put a set of Rush 2.5 slip ons on my 04 roak king carb model.
It pops everytime I let off of the throttle. Very annoying. Should I go to a smaller baffel, or live with it? I like noise, but not this stuff.

Like I said in the opening, it is a carb.
I was running screamin eagle slip ons, with no problem,
Basically stock, but I have had the air cleaner upgrade, dynojet kit and dyno tuned with the other pipes.
I just hate to make too quiet, I guess a matter of preference.
Thanks for the info!

All motors pop under decel,just depends on muffler or lack of,try not shutting off throttle all the way when shifting,always keep a little on,your pop will go away.

Pops or blubbles on deceleration? It sounds like your main jet is too big; go back to 45/190 and try it. play with you needle height.
Don't need no stinkin dyno for a carb.
