alright i installed an ape cct today and still have the infamous haonda tick any gues's as o what it is? yes i tightened it down correctly. also did the flaper mod while i was in the air box. no screws just tucked it under the edge of the snorkles. what kind of increse can i expect? any one ever cut their velocity stacks instead of buying shorter ones or do they need the rounded edge for proper airflow? didnt do it just thought bout it.

 

i believe that annoying tick is comeing from the fuel pressure regulator mine does the same thats the only thing that i hate about the 54 other wise mint machine

 

ttt

 

My understanding is just basiclly valve train noise, nothing harmful at all. We also have very thin headers, makes it a tad more noticeable.

 

im just wondering b/cause my friend has an 03 with twice the miles no tick........the tapping doesnot increse with trottle so i cant figure it out

 

Let me take it to the track and run the hell out of it. If the noise does not change then we know you're fine.

 

im gonna do that this weekend not the track but on some local twisties

 

and no you cant just cut the stock stacks down.
