Default C7 with NPP

I have a 2014 c7 with npp! If I switch out the stock exhaust with the borla atak NPP will the car still backfire?

You might be referring to overrun, the burble and popping noises you get when downshifting and slowing down?

Backfiring is bad for your car.

I am sure this is what he is talking about. He just don't know the diff's.To the OP here yes it will still do the sound that you are talking about but just a little louder. I have npp and also have borla akta system on my 2014. Robert

He might also be talking about the "Pop!" at WOT, which also sounds like music to my ears.
