Default Exhaust popping noise

Is it possible for my hks single with test pipe to some times make VERY small popping noises? Theyre barley noticeable. They dont sound as if i had a missfire. Is it just the exhaust or is something wrong? Like i said, doesnt sound noticeable like a missfire, and it sounds as if it were the sound from a cam.

i only notice it at idle. I hear the noise, its a very quiet noise but noticeable. My body doesnt feel it as if it were a misfire. When im driving and rev match a down shift it back fires some times.

Back fires? Really? I've not heard a car backfire in years. Sounds like a gunshot.

Backfire, or burble? Burble on decel is not uncommon with uncorked exhaust.

Burble is usually considered a desirable byproduct of aftermarket exhaust.
