It wont damage the engine, its caused by the maf measuring the air in the inlet manifold. When you back off with a vta dump valve the air that the ecu knows about from the maf measurments is lost, but the ecu is still fuelling for the amount of air it used to have. So you get a very brief over fuelling happening, its this extra fuel you hear popping in the hot exhaust.
