Exactly what I'm about to find out as I'm going from the OS2104s myself.

I also have a couple 7 port OS that will be a nice comparison too.

Looking forward to sharing my results with you all

Saw the monza ran in, the picco also screams, but I like os better.
however, the most screaming exhaust is the one came with the one by Capricorn. Screaming like hell. Just like a Ferrari running a vet high rev in the low gear

See how we go, with the issues that Ive had and seen on the 2104s this could be a good alternative for myself.
We are now back in a snap lockdown so may not be able to race this weekend at the State championships, so piccos may have to wait again : (

As Roelof mentioned, scratched pistons during or post break in. I've had one myself.

My 2nd and 3rd 2104 seem to be okay post break in but until I run them in the car I don't know

during break in. and the break in time requires much longer than usual, not typical os easy and fast break in, normally around 2-3 bottles of fuels, the 2104 not broken in even more than 6L of fuels

Yes absolutely, I have found 5-6L to even be close to race tune.

I have started running my 2104s in on the prop bench.
Minimum of 2L before hitting the track

not seemed, i guess they probably didn't realize the temp dropped, and/or the piston was made tighter than before, as a result, it was flamed out at the end straight, then scratched the piston.

you mean the "quality" issue? too many scratched piston.
i remembered my 35plus21 and the NR PTA were having the scratched piston issues. in fact, i heard so many people having the issue at that time.
