How come it makes such a popping sound. just heard one the other day for the first time...

Was it oem Z06 exhaust (low restriction/part titanium) or an after market? You (probably) don't know.

Many after market exhausts systems will "pop" because of lower restriction/larger ID pipe. Sometimes, the noise stops/reduces with more use as the ID of the pipe becomes coated with carbon...

No poping ever on mine - perhaps the tune is a wee off

Does this Vette have an H-Pipe or X-Pipe? X-Pipe is better and if it has the factory H-Pipe I have heard of these aiding the poping sound -

X-Pipe usually eleminates this

Thanks,Matt

stock z06. one was at the dealer maybe cause it wasnt warm? the other was on utube.

I have borla stingers on mine and I get the popping sound on deceleration (I actually kind of like it). Putting an X-Pipe on would help with/eliminate the noise. My guess is you heard a Z06 with and aftermarket cat-back.

I get a poping on my 01 sometimes on decel with the stock exahust with 22,000mi. on engine.

My '02 with factory exhaust pops on deceleration.

Mines always pops in 3rd gear the moment it passes under 2000rpm

My '03 pops in the exhaust when it's cold and I take the RPM up to 3,000 or more then let off. Only does it when cold.

Mine too! I think it might be the "H" pipe.

On an aftermarket system a X-Pipe will solve it.

I was told that the popping on decel was a result of the exhaust configuration but also had to do with timing advance. ie: the more you advance the timing in the tune the more it will pop.

Agree---never heard the pops since X-pipe put on. Easy fix.

what does the xpipe do. i know what they are. but what are the advantages?
