Default Ugly popping sound after shift

So I was reading around the interwebs, and I come across a thread about that nasty popping sound I get after shifting when my rpm's were high. Im pretty sure it was talking about what mine is doing and I hate that sound. It said that getting headers that deleted the AIR system gets rid of it. The AIR system it refers to is the air pump right? Anyway, is that true, if so its one more reason for me to hurry up on my headers/exhaust install.

what kind of poping sound. through the exhaust or the body? i dont see how the air pump or its being in operation could make a pop sound.

Its in the exhaust. It happens as soon as I let off the throttle or if I rev up my motor to a certain rpm. Its not back fire, its a series of, for lack of a better word, trickling rumbles.

AIR pump only runs for a few minutes when the engine is cold, so should have no effect on how the exhaust sounds.

Ah, I think it might have been in there. So when I get headers (Pacesetter egr air delete long tubes) Will it run bad until I get a tune to delete the systems, or will blocking them off be enough and ill just have a code?

your gona get some of that no matter what, seems to be a lt1 thing. if your running rich it will do it worse. its a build up of unburnt fuel in the exhuast igniting.
