When you install SE 255's in a 96" ,, Does your bike get louder?

Also Would like to hear from anyone that put other cams beside SE255's in a 96",,To see if ALL Cam upgrades make your bike louder??

 

My 08 has andrew's gear drive cams,and i think they are very noisey,I just recently installed the feuling cam plate and oil pump,That made a huge differance but at a cost.

 

Are you talking about valvetrain noise or exhaust noise? Valvetrain noise seems to be inconsistent between engines as some report new cams are as quiet as stock and others report ticking.

As for exhaust noise, typically the exhaust will be a little louder depending on the pipes and cam. I had Big Shot Duals, put in a set of Andrews 26 cams and the exhaust was quite a bit louder. Cam changes usually result in a change in cylinder pressure which will result in a different exhaust sound.

 

When you say louder, are you referring to the valve train noise or the exhaust note?
I just installed a set of se203's in my '07 RK and I"m considering a change due to the lack of noise. The valve train noise is as quiet as stock ( good thing) but so is the exhaust note. The exhaust note didn't change much after installing the 203's and I was hoping for a more aggressive sound. Can anyone chime in with there suggestion for a aggressive sounding bolt-in cam

 

I dont notice any "ticking/tapping/whatever" with my cams.
My exhaust I think got louder when I'm "on it".

 

Sorry ,, Asking about Exaust Noise??

 

got a little bit louder in the exhaust but the ticking noise got quieter

 

Valve train noise stayed the same, exhaust got louder

 

Recently installed 255's in my 09 Streetglide, valve train noise increased and the exhaust (V-H MO's) got louder and deeper.

 

96", SE255's & Rinehart true duals. Had the Rineharts on long before installing 255's. Valve train got louder & exhaust got quite a bit louder @ idle. REAL loud @ WOT!
