Default F-Sport (exhaust) "pops" now when coming to stop

After installing the F-Sport intake, exhaust, sways, and springs, my favorite addition so far is the exhaust. That's the one that I was the most afraid of, but I love the sound. It changes/improves the entire experience of the car.

BUT, since the cold weather has set in, my exhaust now "pops" when I come to a stop. Not good. It makes the car sound like junk. It only pops one to three times, but it's still annoying.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas about the cause and cure?

I have never heard of anyone complaining of this before .. I love when my car does this. If you don't like it then remove your aftermarket exhaust; there is nothing wrong with your car though. Most V8s do this when they have aftermarket exhausts. WE should only be so lucky to hear it haha.

I love backfiring....if you believe it sounds like Junk, remove your exhaust because most exhaust will make you do that.

Remove your resonator or custom piping and you'll definitely hear it

I have liked the pop I've heard on other cars with aftermarket exhaust, but mine didn't do that until a week or so ago. That made me think something might be wrong with it or the fuel mixture in my engine. (Plus, the engine has been idling a little rougher than normal. Maybe I got some weak gas or something.)

Anyway, I can adjust my opinion of it. You're telling me it's a good sound. I'll buy that, and now I'm looking forward to hearing it again.

Thanks for your feedback, everyone.

Your exhaust is probably finally broken in and on that day your car exhaust popped, it probably ran a little richer then usual due to the weather and you'll probably hearing it decelerating to a stop some pop.

Mine pops/backfires when I come to a stop on occasion. Usually when I aggressively stop. It's normal

all of you guys backfiring when coming to a stop try driving the car in sport mode with it in 6th gear, it doesn't downshift to engine brake when in that mode
