During the process, the tensioner idler arms were not removed. I tried to remove just what was necessary - the tensioners.

Again, the sprocket and the intermediate shaft gear are the two things that need to align and you didn't change any of that. The idler arm has enough travel on the shaft to go wherever it needs to be, so even if you would have taken it off, you'd still be fine.
You should post your question on the engine rebuild forum, where the engine builder gurus and experienced mechanics hang out. I still doubt you should expect a noise that's louder than stock exhaust. Maybe your chain ramps got beat up and now make more noise with the better tensioned chains, I dunno. At this point I'd be in there.
