Valve Train Noise With True Duals, WTF??

I just put on TSP TD's about 2 weeks ago and i notice that i have more valve train noise now. Is this normal. The exhaust sounds great, but the valve train makes a chhhhhhh like sound that really sounds like ****. The power is there, but it sounds like ****. What do u guys think. Someone told me it sounds like i have pebbles in my motor.

Did you also install headers at the same time? LS1's seem to make alot of chatter sometimes regardless of what's going on.

That's what I was thinking. I could never hear mine as bad untill I put the cats on and ran the pipes out the back. Now it makes me want to drive off a clif. My new motor is going to have harlan rebuilt rockers, morel lifters, and hopefully won't make as much noise.
