Backfiring and gurgling since slip-on install.
Rode to work today for the first time since adding my D&D slip-on. I'm getting tons of gurgling and popping everytime I let off the throttle at all. I would get a little popping with the stock pipe but it wasn't bothering me really. But this seems like something is wrong. Ideas? Thanks!

D&D's gurgle like that, they're meant to sound good when reving, mine pops a lot when I let completely off the throttle as well
I dont think it's a problem, I think it's just how the exhaust is built
if you haven't seen my video yet, check it out, see if it sounds like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4JPOde064c (not trying to spam, lol)
if so, it should be fine, I didnt rev it high enough for the pops in the video, those hit after about 8k rpm

Here's a video I just took. You can't hear the popping though.

RE: Backfiring and gurgling since slip-on install.
I believe it's only a sign of an issue if it pops when you're just riding around cruising. when you're cruising to a stop and it pops while you're in drive, that's quite normal. every bike i've had so far have done it.
My bike is all stock in the engine. no work/jetting/ etc.
