Do Race Headers make noise?
Just curious. I'm thinking about looking into these. Wondering if they make the car louder?

Having a high flow cat AND an aftermarket exhaust will make the car louder. Headers will not increase the noise, just the air flow.

Thanks moda. I think I would like my car to be a little louder, but most aftermarket exhaust's that i have heard still sound too ricey for my taste. Looking for something a little deeper, ya know?

I can promise you, my Comptech Header, RT Cat and Comptech Cat Back would give you all the noise you desire. I've had a few people compare it to a dialed back race car sound.

With the quiet tips in, sure it is quiet enough.

Fujitsubo Legalis-R and Tanabe Medallion Touring are both quiet, especially the Tanabe MT.
