Hi David,
Whenever I hear "backfire occasionally" I think of an exhaust donut 
leaking.  This is especially true if you are slowing down and have 
headers.  Regardless, I would check the exhaust packings on that side.  It 
is a quick check and you should see signs of a leak if it is there, like a 
carbon track or the packing partly or totally gone.  If that is it, you 
could chase other things forever.
