Default Exhaust pop

I have a 3 inch strait through glass pack installed right after the y pipe, then extended pipe after the glass pack and dumped it before the axle. On deceleration i experience a popping out of the exhaust....any ideas on how to get rid of this? i love the sound of it otherwise very unique.

Mine did that too. After I changed mixtures (EFILive) it stopped. I was running straight 3.5" after the Y, dumped infront of passenger rear.

I say its the glasspacks. I've never heard glasspacks on any car or truck that didn't "pop" on deceleration.

Thats trucks, camaros, mustangs, ect ect.

It will do it regardless of the muffler but more open exhaust like a straight through glasspack will amplify the sound. Like mentioned above; its the DFCO kicking in. Get it turned off in the tune if you don't like it, but it does help with fuel economy a bit.
