This is my 2011 GS. 43k miles. Only mods are CAI and NPP. Not sure if I am overreacting or not! Thanks for any insight!

Haha, good deal! I honestly hadn't taken a good listen to it in a while (been buying a house and moving), so I just wanted to see if anyone else could give it a listen. Thanks!

Sounds like injectors, normal.

x2 that is quiet for an ls far as lifters go. If it bugs you run 10 30 or 40 dino oil they will quiet right down.
