My '96 used to do that. Found out when I put the Borla on that the clamp
at the y-pipe had never been tightened. Or is it the one after the cat.
Oh, we'll you get the idea.

Hmmm, come to think of it, my Y pipe does rattle until it heats up -
I wouldn't be suprised if there's a leak there until the pipe expands
and
seals it up. That would certainly explain why the popping on
decelleration
stops when the engine warms up. :-) One of these days I'll get under
there
and look at it...
