after accelerating hard, my xb12r makes little popping sounds from exhaust on engine breaking (?!) .. is this right?!

i really like the sound .. i put 91/92 octane in it.

also, on decelleration i notice a whistling sound that i think is from intake .. is this correct & another thing i find cool! : )

Are you running a free flowing exhaust? They tend to pop a little more although the stock can does too a little. If is excessive it may be on the lean side.

Mine (XB9SX w/race kit) was doing that a bit more until today when I got the TPS and AFV reset. Rarely did it when I was pegging the throttle wide open and off on the way home.

The "tech" term for it is a lean condition,My D&D does it even just changing from first to second gear.

Completely normal.
Can be reduced by adding a TFI.

I'm sorry if I sounded condemning.

The tech term would be exhaust popping

Backfire is litterally what it says it is ... it fires back into the airfilter.

Unless I am misinformed exhaust popping can be both a lean and a rich condition.

A TFI is a less techy Power commander,Lets you adjust the air/fuel ratio,The TFI uses screws to adjust it n the Power Commander uses a laptop.
