Thanks guy! I think it does have a unique sound considering the exhaust setup. I have not heard any kooks longtubes with catted h-pipe and roush catback exhaust with hot rod cams.

I meant to put RTV on the Percy gaskets that came with the Kooks but I got so caught up in the install that I forgot.

Were they Percy's seal-4-good? The multi layer kind?

If so, those are the only gaskets that I now use and I no longer have leaks. I tried mr gaskets on my other car (it has a bow tie) and ended up putting Percy's on that too; no leaks.

Thanks! The drone is not bad at all actually. I barely hear it. Its quite pleasing driving the car with the windows up since i had no choice today because of the crappy weather.

Sounds great. This is the same setup i'm going for......I want the catted h pipe as well kooks of course. I might have to try the new detroit rocker cams though.
