Borla Attack Popping

Interested in any feedback on Borla Attack making a popping sound when you let off of accelerator. Installed on M6 2ss sound is great do not like popping. One opinion is the system has a leak and is taking on cold air, another says it is from the baffles inside the muffler itself. I would welcome your feedback!

Thanks

No. That's the sound of a 6.2 liter small block.

All LS3's make that sound, it's just more pronounced now that you have an exhaust.

Its the engine trimming fuel as a way to make the emissions people happy

I'll agree with what others has said. You can get it removed with a tune if you like.

Yes, pretty normal. It was there even with the stock trash cans. I actually like it with my Touring kit it's a subtle popping, but I can imagine how loud it must be with the ATAK.

Back in the day when you had to twist a screw (metering rod) to adjust A/F ratio @ idle, you would figure you were pretty close when you heard the poping sound during deceleration. If you didnt have that you were pretty much made fun of.

Yup. If you rev up the engine and let the RPMs come down while in gear you'll get some popping. It sounds very cool but some people don't like it. I heard it when I first got my car but with the strangling mufflers it sounded quiet and weird. With a muffler delete and an xpipe I see people jogging or walking flinch when I pass them. I think they thought they heard a gun shot ROFL.

I did not like it either at first when I did my exhaust. Now I love the sound, I let off the power in tunnels just to hear my LS3 talk
