Quieter than my old pipes rolling down the highway but growl nice when you roll it on. Much deeper sound at idle too.
I am pretty sure they use dyno oil initially, but Jaime is pretty open minded about the various typical high end oils we use. I use M1 15/50 auto in my crankcase. Buy it a Wally's for $26 a 5qt jug.

Nice to hear you're enjoying it so far. After the first oil change and a couple more K miles you will feel it completely broken-in and just as smooth as silk.

Well I am loving my build. After having the crew do mine last Thursday I left friday for the NASCAR race in Long Pond Pocono. Being fresh I rode it without any major pulls on the engine. Just moderate acceleration. I am now prob around 1700 miles. Gave her a good pull on the way home and wow. It really makes me happy knowing I have a touring bike that still has some get up and go if I want to.

Gotta love the way it makes power!

Champion RA8HC with a gap of .024 inches

Mine came out after the first 4K miles a perfect grayish dry color.

Bike is running nicely with them. I believe they are the equivalent to the stock HD 6R12.

I just changed the oil at after the initial1K change. Used my standard Mobil 1 Syn, 15/50 automotive $26 bucks at Wally world. (not that I am trying to save money) and went with a K&N Oil Filter. I was a big beliverin OEM oil filters, but the stock HD filters require that silly knurled removal tool that slips sometimes. I noticed when I did the 1K change that FM used what I think was a K&N with an 11/16ths bolt head that is a much more straight forward way to tighten/loosen and remove that filter. AND the K&N is a heavier and more solid unit. It is even packaged better, wrapped in cellophane. A quality product in my opinion. At least from an outside perspective.

1" is 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm
So .24mm is = to 0.00944882" I wonder if he meant 2.4mm that is = to 0.0944882"

Even .024" seems on the tight side?
