My car only pops (sometimes) when I slow down for a stop, not at consistent low RPMs.

Im curious to hear your setup, this is what I'm looking to get. Did you end up getting the HKS mid-pipe as well?

Is this the normal rasp headers add or something more sinister? If not, could you have an exhaust leak?

^^^This could be it too! I had a cracked exhaust manifold (header), and the car was very raspy at low rpms, when it was WOT, all the other noises drowned it .
