Default valve train noise
I put on a 255 cam, screaming eagle heavy breather, and the Vance and Hines 450, on a 2012 street glide and now I'm get a reverb noise through my breather. what is the problem?

Does it sound like a Fender Stratocaster?

Sounds like a clucking noise doesn't it. It's absolutely normal. It's called cam reversion.

Yep, intake reversion.... sounds like someone in there tapping on a little wooden drum.

Open air cleaners make it worse.... I changed back to the stock AC because of it.
