Immediately picked up a sharper more RB26-like sound once they were fitted. I find that extremely hard to believe . Any other changes at the same time? 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/482780-which-exhaust/page/2/#findComment-7958619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it even remotely possible that changing springs and retainers affects the sound at all?

Valve follows cam. Unless springs can't control valve, which is bad. Yep springs have harmonics and all kinds of design considerations, but they don't change the sound unless your previous springs were somehow allowing the valve to bounce around all the time which would be quite bad. Why did you just change springs and retainers? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/482780-which-exhaust/page/2/#findComment-7958628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
