Do you like deceleration popping?
I took a friend for a ride the other day, it was his first time in a vette.
He loved everything about the car except the deceleration popping. He said it sounded "broken" or there is something wrong. I just laughed and said "That's what a race car sounds like". I recently had Corsa Indy's put on so the popping is in abundance. Me personally, I love it!
Sounds race!

My motorcycle used to do it too...hated it!

It must be the younger drivers who have never heard an engine with a glass pack muffler mounted on it. Even without mufflers a C5 can't come close to the popping one of those would make when the car was downshifted and the engine backed down. Do that late at night on a residential street and the lights would come on in all the houses. They were real ticket magnets. Every community had laws against them.

I thought about this same thing tonight on the way home from work. It is kind of annoying to me. Mine has Corsa Indys. Back in the day, this was a common problem with the A.I.R. pump. Does this cause the popping on these cars or is it just from this type of exhausts? Combination of both? I am still a newbie when it comes to C5's having only had one since January of this year.

No, I don't like it. That's why I installed an x-pipe on mine - solved about 95% of the popping.

I used to have a 68 vert with Doug Thorley headers, 2.5-inch pipes and Dynomax superturbo mufflers - real 60s musclecar sound. That thing popped even more than my Borlas do and yes, it IS the sound of a V8 racecar of old. This is why I love it.

With the Ti cat-back mine only does it occasionally, but I like it. If you're getting a lot of it after mods it can be a sign that your tune is off.
