Kind of a simple thing but how are your plugs? When was the last time you changed them? Shitty old plugs could lead to unburnt fuel ending up in the pipe and when the pipe finally gets hot the built up gas ignites causing a backfire through the exhaust.
 
mine was loading up ,and popping after i shut it off . the idle screws backed out . got them back in all is fine
