Why do exhausts pop flames on deceleration?

I'm pretty sure race cans / systems do this as they actually flow more air so the mixture ends up a tiny wee bit more lean. Because of this, any unburnt fuel will ignite randomly within the exhaust system instead of in the engine which then results in a popping and banging or a flame out the end of the cans in some circumstances.
Personally, I love it. My Renegades pop and bang on the over run with the odd flame here and there emerging from the cans.

my mates tl1000r pops flames out of both exhausts and looks awesome when out on a dusk ride. however, as good as it looks, i did keep warning him that it meant his bike wasnt running right and eventually it burnt his plugs out and his exhaust was a rattly piece of ****! looks great and sounds brilliant but just be warned that it could turn expensive!
