Default Backfiring on deacceleration..normal for our sidepipes

Hey guys,

So I've always had some backfiring/popping on deacceleration, but now curious if it is normal for the B&B sidepipes or do I have a problem.

I have the ceramic coated B&B side pipes which appear to have just glasspacks for mufflers, they have about 5k miles on them.

I've checked all header to cylinder head cylinder bolts for tightness and leaks, seems okay. Used high temp RTV on header to sidepipe connection, no leaks there either.

Also tried richening the idle mixture screws which helped a little.

Its a mild 351w running 650 eddy carn and about 14 degrees initial advance (petronix vacuum advance distributor).

Any thoughts? Do your guys pipes crackle and pop on deacceleration?

Thanks
