Subject:      Exhaust "popping" noises in 85GL

I don't know if this is something that just started happening after my recent engine replacement, or I am just noticing it now with Spring weather and the windows being down but when I am "coasting" downhill (wheels driving engine) I hear popping sounds coming from the exhaust--vauely reminsicent on my 1975 and 1979 Rabbits.

Any cause for concern, or is my catalytic converter finally spitting out its contents after 150,000 miles.
