If you haven't installed your new TP's yet, I'd highly suggest grabbing Z1 metal gaskets. Use the directions from the RTV bottle, applying a thin layer on both sides, and waiting for the RTV to cure before re-torquing. My mechanic actually just use copper RTV spray on my metal gaskets and they don't leak. Well, they sound like they leak but it's just the nature of the beast when running test pipes.

This is with the new Z1 gaskets and RTV. CEL was still on as of last night when I got home.

I've got a feeling one of your sensors is problematic, since you've had intermittent problems over time. No CELs on mine and another 1500 miles in the books, about 7k miles now.
And ditto what Jfish said about the smell, it can be strong in an area w/ no breeze and you wouldn't want to be behind your car w/ it running for very long, but you won't notice it when driving. If you're in a traffic jam or a drive-through waiting for food I'm sure the car behind you won't be that excited w/ your test pipes

Thanks for the responses guys. About to pull the trigger. I live in MA so not sure about passing inspection. My friend does my inspections and doesn't hook up anything other than and OBD so I think I should be fine. What are you guys doing about inspection?

No, these are the ones (the upper gaskets that go to the headers) and you will need 2.

You can re-use the oem 2 bolt stacked thin metal gaskets, or the ones that come w/ the RTPs w/ a smear of high temp RTV on both sides.
