Misfires after axle back exhaust install

Guys

Just installed an x-pipe and Roush Axle Back exhaust and it is a beautiful thing. It literally wakes up the neighborhood, with a deep growling sound, especially with a cold start. Love the fricking thing. However, I've noticed that when going from 1st to 2nd, and sometimes from 2nd to 3rd, I hear sort of a misfire when I press on the clutch. I don't know that to think, as perhaps this is something that's always been there, however, with the new loud exhaust, perhaps that exacerbates the misfire sound. Is this normal, or do I need to be concerned enough to take it in to the dealership?

Thoughts?

I am sure if it was a misfire the computer would let you know. After I put mine on especially with an X pipe it gets a nasty grumble, crackling sound... Almost sounds like a downshift backfire but nastier.. Enjoy.

Just pops and bangs (sort of backfire). Nothing to worry about. In fact, I can make mine backfire almost every 3-2 downshift

In Kalifornia they bury you under the jail for such things. Tree killer! Why do you have to spread your hate!

When I use my Track Key it is always there. Down shifting and just letting off the throttle will do that... I love it.
