Popping that 427 is an art form!!!! They ought to make it a Summer Olympic event.
Add a cam and headers and you have a symphony.
Don't like it....get a VOLT.
Just kidding!!! It's all a matter of taste.

You just bought a sports car. There should be a switch to make the popping louder.

I love it, but you can tune it out. It's from the car dumping gas on the overrun. Pretty simple actually.

GM’s newly designed mufflers I believe, are nothing more than using the 2008 and up optional NPP muffler, and welding a 3” inlet into that
2 1/2" muffler, and called it a day. They added the X pipe on the
2011's, mostly, to help control some of the popping. If they ran the H-pipe, popping would have been more pronounced. That is why I believe on the 06-10 Z06, came with that perforated pipe which some of you covered to change the sound.
So, everyone who covered or replaced that perforated pipe, will get popping upon deceleration. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Now if GM wanted to do it right, they would have redesigned their muffler, making it a TRUE 3” system.

LMAO..... thats right there with guys trying to max out gas mileage in a Z06! Hello...you bought this thing with the idea of saving money on fuel? I cant burn fuel fast enough and gas mileage isnt a concern for the 6/8 months 5k miles that are put down in a season. Z= performance machine, not a Volt.

Maybe a Caddy would of suited you better?
But on a serious note... I'm not sure how you could rid yourself of that besides maybe adding on a couple extra super restrictive mufflers? I know Corsa makes some multi-chambered mufflers that will put a cap on the noise. Give them a call.
And an earlier Z06 muffler won't fix it.. my 06 Z06 did it with stock exhaust.
