SE Stage IV

Hello All,
First off, I am new here and I really enjoy the content. I have picked up a ton of good ideas and advice. I have read several threads regarding SE stage IV engine noise. Any thoughts regarding this video would be appreciated. Sorry it's sideways, not sure how to rotate it. Anyway, does this sound normal? The local dealer installed the kit about 6 months ago. Thanks in advance!

There is nothing to do for it other than replace the a/c with something less open to the rider...ie: the football cover. People really started noticing the "clacking" at idle when installing the Heavy Breather a/c.

I thought I might have heard a bit of valve train noise toward the end of the video when the phone was real close to the air filter but hard to tell.

Like stated already most of that sounds pretty normal however at the very end I thought I detected something a little more like a rattle, maybe check The air cleaner area for any loose bolts
