Washers and readjustment did the trick!

It sounds incredible! There is a slight rasp before it warms up, but I believe that is from the HFCs. To me, it's very loud and noticeable. If it were my daily driver, I wouldn't be able to deal with it (I have a 3 hour total commute every day), but since it's the garage queen/weekend cruiser/race car, it's perfect!

I took it for an hour drive and I noticed a smell, but I believe that's due to the can of Liquid Wrench I emptied on the cat to header bolts. Hopefully that burns off soon and the smell disappears. I checked all of the connections, so I don't believe I have any leaks.

Now I definitely need a tune. I noticed the idle is a bit high, around 1,000 rpms and it fluctuates: slightly higher and lower at times. I've done a lot to the car in the past 9 months, so I'm pretty sure a tune will correct all of that.

Overall: I'm very happy with this system. The customer service, build quality, fit and finish and performance are all top notch.

Thanks Kevin and everyone at Fast Intentions for a great system and customer experience. Thanks everyone in here for your continued support, suggestions and for adding to an already great community.
