What LSA is you cam??? Mine is on a 110 and it sounds sick idleing especially with the cut-out open. I too could sit there and listen to it idle all day, but then I'd die from the fumes..

112. yea the fumes suck. i have long tubes with ory and a stock tbss muffler turned down. i am tempted to unbolt it just to hear what it would sound like. i think i am going to look for a corsa exhaust though. or at least add a tailpipe to what i have.

I have a dynomax ultra-flow single in dual out. its really pretty quiet at idle. i want to put in a resonator though to get rid of some of the raspiness from the longtubes.

Yeah i've listened to bluecajun's idle clip and it sounds mean. How well does the head and cam perform? Is it tuned or untuned?
