Finally got my Pypes MM System lined up right (sound clips)

Had to go to 4 different places to get the tips lined up right. Took some mediocre video today with my cell phone. Hopefully will have some better footage soon!

can you hear your valves and lifters more since you installed your longtubes?
i keep hearing something from up front and i am not sure if its the lifters, the valves, or an exhaust leak....

Well I dyno'd right about 275 WHP but I want to get it retested as I don't feel it's accurate.

You definitely hear the workings of the engine more with headers. It's thinner tubing than the stock manifolds. I hear it with my new BBK shorties.

hmm, maybe i am just being overly cautious then... but then again, i have no cats and boom tubes, so its not like i have any backpressure to keep those valves from bending... yikes.....

I hear a bunch of different noises too. The loud raspy/uncontrolled/trumpeting exhaust note worries me sometimes too but I don't think there's anything to actually worry about

yeah but it kind of sounds abnormal (even though ive never owned any other V8 with long tubes). i had an audi where the lifters ticked like crazy and that always kind of worried me, this is kind of similar. i actually get quite a bit of noise coming from the engine compartment as opposed to through the exhaust... i think i might have a bad seal with the heads.... :-(
