I have the American Thunder catback on my 2SS M6 and whenever I let off the gas and the RPM's drop low my exhuast makes kind of a "Glub, Glub" sound. I think it's reffered to as decel popping or backrap. My main question: is this normal and what cuases it?

How does that sound again? Glub, glub?

I think decel popping sounds like pop, pop, pop

im still stock, and mainly in 1st and 2nd comming to a stop still in gear i get it to "glub glub" or as i would say "pop" sometimes like 3-7 times as it goes down in RPMs... back pressure? gas or pressure build up? i dunno, im not an expert but i get that too, i think its kinda cool haha, but yea i get that (i think its the same thing) with my stock exhaust too

..unburned/abnormal gas in the exhaust.

Not an issue, happens with some (exhaust) cars without a tune.

Heck, I hear it on OEM cars as well.

Completely normal ...

Not really normal if an engine is achieving complete combustion. But normal for the way the OE calibration is set up. In the OE cal, there is a table for decel fuel cut off. For mpgs and emisions, they cut off the fuel during a small decel window. When they cut that fuel, there isn't enough to support combustion - so what little is there goes out the exhaust as raw fuel and when it hits oxygen - pop pop. The stock exhaust muffles that popping quite a bit. Put an aftermarket exhaust on there and the pops are much louder.

Turn off the DFCU in the tuning, and there will be no popping. But mpgs will take a hit.
