Default snap crackle and pop

so I bought a 09 1200c

I got the vance and hines straight shot slipons...no A/C just the pipes for now, will do a full stage one in the future..

I disconnect the battery put the pipes on and go for a ride seems to be a little popping and crackleing when I decelerate.....should I be concerned about this?

My Rush Slip ons do that a little bit too. I hear that once the full stage 1 and fuel mgmt gets installed that goes away.

Think of the air intake, the cylinders and the exhaust as a carefully calibrated system. When you change one part of the system, you must make changes to the other parts to accomodate those changes. A free-breathing air box and a re-map would eliminate those pops and crackles.
