RE: Backfiring '94 R11RS

Ben,
I couldn't have said it better myself :)

My Roadster used to pop in the exhaust box in 1996 and I spent a good while
trying to eliminate it - which I eventually did and it still runs
beautifully today.

You need to get the throttle just about fully closed to signal to the ECU to
enter the mode called "Quick, change operations so as to avoid lean
misfiring during engine braking."

Sometimes the throttle sensor (TPS) or something can be out of whack.
Be sure the TPS reads safely below .4 volts at idle (and that you fully
close the throttle when slowing).

Could that be relevant to your problem?
