I personally hate that crackle on deceleration....it makes the car sound like an old pick up truck. Mine doesnt do it. I have headers and an x pipe with stock Ti exhaust. Congrats on the car!!

LOVE it too - I drive with the windows open whenever possible to hear the crackles and the other awesome sounds coming out of the tailpipes!

yea, Im an older guy and all I can think of is the sound of a cheap old glass pack from when I was in high school whenever I hear that. Now when the engine is breathing and singing a symphony through the headers, hi flows and Ti's..... thats class and a beautiful melody!

Me too!

I have noticed mine only does it for the first 30 seconds or so after cold startup. Perhaps when the AIR system is active. I wouldn't mind a bit more of it though!

I thought it was normal for a slight back fire when letting of the gas at high rpms
