Default My CMS 2.5 blower cams

Question for you cam experts - My blower cams do not sound loppy at all. It certainly makes my car exhaust idle a bit louder but i have google other 2.5 blower cams and my car does not sound like them at idle?

Does a catback make any difference on how cams will idle? I have MRT Catted H pipe with STEEDA Catback.

You cannot even really tell that my car is cammed....

Thoughts

Hmmm...well your rpms sound like they're good. My Hitechs are set there and sound awesome. I don't know much about blower cams...id be curious to see how they're different then N/A cams.

If the idle is below 1k there should be some chop. What are the specs on those cams?

post a vid of it for comparison. i have to say that you having cats and actual mufflers might not help the lopey sound at idle.

That one sounds like its o/r midpipe and SLP's or something. But the exhaust is more crisp and you can hear the lope more because of the o/r midpipe.
