Headers sound?
Hello all, how much louder are the Comptech or DC Headers inside the cars? I looked around but can't find a definate answer. Can you even hear a difference if you have aftermarket headers on? I know the CAI and exhaust you do.. Any input would help

The exhaust sound is not louder. But there is a noticeable sound of gas flow during WOT acceleration; sort of like a hiss and a whine. The Comptech part being tuned to the K24A2's exhaust frequency, this is to be expected, as the OE short header is not constructed in this manner. It doesn't resonate. The Comptech does, and you can hear it when the engine's cut loose.
I'd be willing to bet the DC does it too. It should, if it is designed properly.

Just installed my DC header and I get an audible hiss above about 3000rpm and more than 20% throttle. I imagine it's much the same reasno rmpage suggested for the Comptech. I've also driven a CL9 with Maxim Works (M-Bit) headers for a CL7 fitted and it too hissed.
