What it sounds like is normal exhaust noise inside the collector 
Kooks installed, few ?'s
Kooks installed, few ?'s Just had my 1 3/4 Kooks headers installed today and after start up and for a while afterwards there was some white/blueish smoke coming from the exhaust, is this normall? Another thing that I'm not sure about is I'm pretty sure we didn't have any leaks when checking the car after initial startup and revving it a bit. After driving it I noticed alot more noise coming from the front of the car, which is to be expected. Thing is, it's really noticable when I get on it from 3000-4000 rmp like I can hear the car breathing right under my feet. Is that normal with longtubes? Or could it have developed a leak after I drove it a bit? So far I like it though, not nearly as loud as expected. But real wierd sounding there 3000-4000 rmp. I hope thats not the dreaded no-cat rasp I've heard about. I have it going through a SLP 2OTL so it still sounds pretty good. Thanks if ya made it this far.

PS- we did have to grind the k-member a wee bit to get the drivers side in.

I know the LT's on my chevelle make enough noise down in the collector area that it sounds like a leak/lots of air moving.

About the noise sound.... anyone else think this might just be normal or I might have had something come loose while driving?
