Update On What's Wrong With the Cobra
I originally thought it was a head gasket. I was wrong (thankfully). Then I thought it might be my intake gasket (TFS Track Heat intake). The last time I had a problem with that intake gasket, it made a very high pitched noise (just like what it's doing now) and when I blew the first gasket a little water got into the cylinder causing a slight puff of white smoke. I saw white smoke this time, but it smelled really funny. After changing the intake gasket I started the car. Same noise. Same smoke. I figured out that it's metal against metal...
When I took my foot off the clutch, the noise stopped but the smoke didn't. Yep, I have a bad t/o bearing in my spec stage 3 clutch.
Damnit. So I'm thinking of putting a TKO in it with a King Cobra clutch and be done with it. Now I need to find someone with a lift. If anyone wants to help remove the tranny, I'll supply lots of beer and food. 
Just an update. Hey, atleast I have a new intake gasket and an oil change

That's what I was wondering. If it was still smoking through the pipes then it's not from the T/O bearing.
Ooops, I just re-read it and you didn't specify through the pipes. If you do have smoke coming from the tailpipes then there is some kind of damage somewhere in there.

So why is your exhaust smoking with a bad T/O bearing? And couldn't you tell the noise was coming from the tranny and not the engine?
