Standard exhaust 40k

[lukey_astravxr]

My vxr has just hit 40k miles and the standard exhaust seems a little strange, its not blowing or anything like that and no rust or anything, but when i hit the accelerator and come off it, just as it stops revving it sounds like its backfiring and popping. Is this right, never noticed it before? Or could i have problems mounting?

Thank you.

Even the std exhaust can pop and bang - happens more if you have the precat removed - perhaps the precat on yours is now less restrictive due to age/wear
