Well, thanks to the help of a few friends and a 1/2 can of PB Blaster, my cats are gone. Only, I found out just how aweful a stock manifold, ORYP, Loudmouth combination sounds. So, as of last night, it has been converted to a Dyno-mouth. All I can say is, it's much, much better. It still screams at WOT. But, 90% of the raspiness has been eliminated. Definitely not a bad sound or setup when on a budget.

Thanks again for the help guys!
