So idle may require a reset....I suppose a freer flowing exhaust could change idle speed... ?

Yes, I gained about 100 rpm on my tach when...
I pulled my damaged catalytic converters and installed the Ott X on my '85 S2.
I've never had any sort of idle issue on my car [knock on wood~]; Nothing seems to change it other than the idle set screw. I set it at about 900 rpm. It doesn't rev out at stop lights, and I don't burn my clutch pulling away either.
N!
