i dont have a LS1 but i know the LM on the v6's "pop" alot when you let off the throttle quickly. its normal i gusse. i think any really free-flowing exhuast is going to rasp/pop ect.this is why ORY's rasp more than catted Y's do.

You will always have some popping with the LM there is no Back pressure. However you may have cracked a spark plug when you changed your plugs. I did when I changed mine, and there was major popping. Turns out I cracked the ceramic on one of the plugs. I replaced it and the popping went away. Give that a try. However you will still have some backfires or popping with the LM any non restrictive cat-back reduces back pressure and will backfire on occasion. Good Luck let us know what you find out.

the pop is somewhat normal, depends on what exhaust setup you have. I have almost none, and my car is loud. you could be setting of you knock sensor, if its that loud.

na i checked the spark plugs and they are all good......its not missing or anything like that its just that pop once in a while when get on it then let off or shifting but i was thinking about changing the slp resonator to a good muffler to increase the back pressure but i love the sound to much lol
