Will adding air stop popping?

My signature shows what I run on my F-Bob. I get some slight decel popping every now and then, sometimes on a cold start, sometimes on a warm start. Changed exh gaskets and muff clamps, torqued and re-torqued, intermittent popping still occurs. Spark plugs are off-white/tanish. I just live with it.

"I've been fancying the S&S air cleaner for my bike but read a couple of older posts that suggested there maybe an issue with it touching the tank on Dynas. Have you had any issues with using it or installing it?"
Thanks, Shaw - you've got a great ride, too!
I installed the S&S Kit #17-0450, and it fits the F-Bob with no problems. As mounted there is about 1/2 inch (12MM) space between the A/C cover and the tank, and I've had no rubbing anywhere, at idle or on the road. See attached thumbnails.
If you choose the same A/C you should not have any problems either. Hope that helps - ride safe!

this is only a guess but I have heard just about everyone say that decel popping got worse when they changed mufflers or pipes. My stock pipes are just plain plugged up. With the cats and the super quiet stock mufflers. when you get a louder pipe muffler set up Im guessing that the louder pipes just don't quiet the decel popping that you didn't hear with the stockers but that was probably still there to some extent. Louder pipes , more noise , more pop. Just a thought.

There are no exhaust leaks. Everything has been checked. I cranked it up in my garage at night with the lights off, covered the headlight, and checked both pipes from one end to the other with a cigarette and a flashlight. With the XIED's the popping is worse.
