Default A Borla That POPS?

Ive got a 98 auto and recently just got some quad stingers fitted.
After the old british roads had dried out I took her for a blast, decided to use manual gears for a while to hold the revs longer and I noticed on de-acceleration POPS and BANGS comming out the exhaust, IT SOUNDED AWESOME, are they ment to do this?

I believe if you replace the H pipe with an X-pipe this will not happen. Maybe someone else could clarify this.
