The popping is caused by unburned fuel hitting the cats. I would verify that your air-fuel mixture and/or timing are not out of whack (i.e., mixture too rich or timing too far advanced).

My 2000 m6 does the same if I let the engine rpm drop off between shifts or let the engine drag the car down during braking. If you keep the engine rpms up between shift you won't hear the popping....nothing but that sweet low rumbling roar.

I kind of like the poping! I have dynotech headers, x-pipe with cats and Corsa indys. At night, if you are behind and the car "pops" you see a quick flash of flame!!! Kinda like being at the track.

Just my two cents!

I have Flowmasters on my 01 C5 and it pops winding down in a gear. Kinda sounds cool!

I have an 04 6 speed with MagnaFlow cat back (no X pipe) and have heard some members complain about popping but mine doesn't. Wonder if there is a significant difference in earlier model C5's that cause it?

MY 99 mn6 with corsa & x-pipe on de-cel or between high RPM shifts sounds like: BANG!, bobble, bobble, BANG!, POP!, bobble,bobble. It really gets the attention of my passengers. I kinda like it.
