This is verifiably incorrect, GM made a tune change in model year 2019 to "boost" the pops and crackles, and earlier model years do it much, much less.

My 2018 can be made to pop a little bit, maybe 2-3 pops, on decel after some hearty mid-throttle acceleration, but that's it. In contrast, the 2019+ keeps popping for several seconds, crackling out at least 8-10 pops.

Here's one of the several threads covering said tune changes and how some people want to make their 2016-2018 Camaros pop and crackle just like the 2019+: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=563618
