The closed end cap is quieter.


Mine runs best with 14 discs with the closed end cap, or 10 disks with the open end cap. I have Andrews 48 cams.


For tuning add or subtract 2-3 discs at a time and you should be able to feel a difference, see which way works best and fine tune.


I get a little better top end with the open end cap, and no noticeable loss of low end torque.

Wondering how much different the sound is between a 103 and a 96? Or if it is even noticeable? When I talked to Steve at Supertrapp he recommended using the 16 discs but also a closed cap. I went with the 16 discs but open cap.
At idle it is a throaty sound that I like. It isn't a tinny sound like I have read some people post about their 2:1's
On takeoff it just seems to mellow out. I am not really aware or annoyed by the tone as I go through the gears. I just need a longer ride to see if it wears on me.
