My exhaust note seems to have changed since fitting the 7A ex cam, a little louder and fruitier I'd say, bit more of a burble.. Well thats the best description I can come up with.. Anyone else noticed this when fitting the 7A cam?

A little o.t. but did you notice any difference after installing the cam? (I have a 7A ex cam on the shelf myself, RS2 setup on the car)

Difficult to say as the head was changed at the same time but I'd say it felt stronger and seems to rev out a bit better, the stock downpipe is now the bottleneck.Originally posted by dkw_dudeComment

Ok thanks, will post reply regarding ex note when I have installed my 7A ex cam (may take a while as I am moving from a flat to a house, so I will have to spend less time on carsOriginally posted by newsh
) .
I have 3" from turbo so it should flow nicely.Leif-Helge

Newsh, did you get a re-map at MRC with the 7A going in?
I was surprised at how different the engine/ exhaust note was with your car vs. mine (whoops, Robatron's!) with the RS2 turbo/ manifold, was a lower overall tone to the engine vs. the k24, so I can quite believe that the different cam would change the sound a bit.
How's it driving now?
I'm still mulling over getting mine re-mapped, maybe I should drop some cams in at the same time. Oh dear, the Dark Side never leaves does it!Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...

Dan_b, yes I'ts been remapped for the Cam, RS2 airbox, BMC filter and bearing in mind the steel rods
Its running enough boost to make the injector O rings leak 
And it fair

That was saying the engine was sitting on standard power before on normal unleaded.
Just a cold air feed and cone filter with exhaust. Engine has covered 190000+miles now.
265bhp cant remember the torque.
Dastek rolling road which was used.
Mind its a AAN engine.

Can you get uprated injector O rings?Comment

I would just replace with new o-rings.
What boost is it running?

From what i've heard of cars running the 7a exhaust cam is around the 1500-2000 mark you get a sort of off beat thrum to the sound/note from the engine, might just be on big boost cars tho. Sounds nice.Comment

Yeah, it sounds nice, and yes I just fitted new O-rings.Comment
