to all, I just purchased an 02 America, when I bought it there were very loud shorties on the bike and I had them removed and the factory off road long pipes installed, they sound good when under power but during off throttle braking or down shifting etc, the popping is honorable, I looked up the bikes like mine, stock except for the off road pipes, and there seems to be different answers for this: I assume there is a long ans sorted story behind fixing this issue. so, If anyone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction, thanks
