Its the whirring noise im after, sort of like a supercharger whine. I can wait a few days no problem at all.

I'm OP off 125SB.com too. Can i stay ? hahaha :pray:

I was mooching about on Youtube and found this video clip, hopefully i can get mine sounding similar, it sounds amazing !! :twisted:

Yep that whirring sound is standard,if thats what you want then leave the backlash gears in, removing them will lose the whirring sound. that scorpion can sounds nice and deep, like that :up:

Yep, that's the standard gear train noise, just a bit fruitier exhaust noise with a free flowing can.

No matter what end-can you have on, you'll never drown out the sound of the cam-gear whine.

Fantastic, thanks very much. :)

I think i'm a bit odd in that i like the sound of the engine more than the exhaust note, must be going senile. ;)
