Default Question about recent M6 swap.

Hello all. I just this past weekend swapped in my new T56 in place of the crappy auto. I LOVE it!!!! But it sounds kind of weird. Hard to explain but it sounds kinda like a roar. Like, idle, off idle, full throttle. It sounds like a roar. I wish I could up load a video of it but I don't believe I can. It rides fine. Runs great. All gears go together perfectly. Just can't help but think something is wrong here. I did install a pilot bearing if anyone is wondering. It was a brand new one of course. Also installed a new rear main seal. The clutch kit is an OZ700 X grip I think. Its the full faced disc. Not a puck. The flywheel is the Textralia billet steel. Anyone have any idea? Thanks.

You may just be hearing a difference between the two setups. I just did a swap too and notice the car rides, sounds, and acts completely different.

Ok. So you definitely here a difference in sound too? It doesn't bother me. It's not loud like the failing pinion bearings in the rearend.
