Hey, I just picked up a new 2011 Stryker today equipped with the Cobra Swept Exhaust. My only complaint is that I noticed it backfire a few times while decelerating. Is this common? The guy I bought it from said there was a chip I can buy that would fix that, not sure which one he was talking about. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

All aftermarket exhaust will pop. Come of of the throttle slowly to reduce it. The stock pipes made a little noise on decel as well but it wasn't all that noticeable.

This has been addressed in a number of posts. A well tuned V twin will pop back on decel due to unburned gases in the exhaust. The factory pipes are so restrictive the pops are barely noticeable. Do a search as there was a link to a very good article explaining the phenomenon and why trying to eradicate it is counter productive. I've owned a number of V twin bikes from Harleys to sportbikes and learned to love the sweet burble of the pipes when decelerating. It's part of the V Twin song.

Thanks guys, I just wanted to make sure. I actually love the sound of the pipes

Agree with all the above. I have no baffles in mine, and if I decel hard, especially if I have to get on the brakes....sometimes on top of all the blubbering and popping, you'd swear I took a couple of shots at someone ))))))) ...s'okay...I like it ))))

Speaking of swepts. I have question for those who are running swept pipes. I have the Cobra slip-on, and I love when I lean hard on right hand corners how the exhaust seems to echo off the road. Do you get that with the swept pipes, but like all the time???

You can definitely hear it as you ride...Its actually seems much louder riding the bike than following it. I let my Dad test it out and I followed in my car. He said the same thing too.
