PA Popping noise in exhaust

When I let off the gas theres a popping noise in the exhaust. I think it's an exhaust leak, anyone got any ideas?

Could be an exhaust leak. Could also be a normal thing. Do you have any exhaust mods?

Nope no mods done. I just can't really remember if it did that before because I just got it running again after a couple months of sitting.

Common when the cats are removed, but if they're still in, an exhaust leak before the main cat could still make it backfire when you let off abruptly.

I still have both converters in so I'm going to check out the exhaust near the main one then. I'm probably just going to install a full new exhaust system soon if that happens to be the problem.

ACV is bad or unplugged. Test the TPS.
