8.1 Backfires on Downshift

My 2005 W24 (40k miles) often backfires when downshifting on full throttle, but otherwise doesn't knock on 87 gasoline. Any thoughts on what is causing this?

I put FSD shocks on my 2005 W24 and it made a world of difference. The Konis seemed designed to absorb the initial hit and then control the rebound. Great investment!
