[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16280504, member: 184279"] Well, bigger cams are most certainly going to increase exhaust loudness and typically give choppy idle. But I had to read your post twice, as I was confused (still am, LOL). Why in the world would you pull the motor if your only apparent complaint is that the exhaust is too loud at idle? Play around with the exhaust, maybe try x-pipe, or just some quieter mufflers, or smaller pipes, etc, etc. Another thing to consider is that the tune may deliberately be adjusted to emphasize that lopey idle. Some guys (like me) absolutely LOVE a lopey idle, which is why I like to slightly retard my timing at idle. Perhaps you can adjust your tune a little by advancing the timing at idle and that will eliminate enough of the choppy idle to make you happy. Advancing the timing at idle usually smooths it out a bit. Seems like pulling the motor should not be a consideration for this concern, unless I am mis-reading the post. Anyway, good luck!!!! ;) [/QUOTE]
