Exhaust popping

Just wondering if anybody can lead me in the right direction. I'm hp tuned and I have a Catless dp. I have no codes and my car runs good. My only concern is that my led on my Onstar is always red and my car sounds like an srt4 when I slow down or downshift. Sometimes I get loud pops.

thats normal for the most part. your tuner could have left it a bit rich or something tho. but the pops happen to me too especially when i downshift in lower rpms.

Yeah the pops are normal. I sometimes get a pretty loud pop shifting into second at low rpms.

Watch any catless LNF video and you will see that pops are normal. I love them. It's a good cereal as well.

The onstar thing I cannot help with.

my onstar is red sometimes and green sometimes, its not a problem, I believe there was a thread about it a while ago. As for the pops, I think they are normal on a catless car although I'm catted.

My car does it. I believe cats burn off excess fuel that does get burned in the combustion chamber, when you are Catless it let's the raw fuel out causing a pop. Just a theory I could be wrong

What bothers me is when I talked to Onstar they told me I had an antenea issue and I had a emissions code. How do I have a code with no check engine light?
