For those with comptech headers, how is the sound compared to the CAI? I have the AEM CAI and I just love the sound of it when VTEC kicks in. Is the sound of the headers even better than the CAI? If it is, I can't wait.![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
BTW, do headers really make a difference? FYI, I have a 99 TL.

They do make a high-end difference, but they look so good.:wow:

Less sound than an intake. I've never had headers without an intake but the intake is definitely all you can hear at 3500+. I got intake and exhaust before headers so its hard to say how much noise they provide... but I'm going to say they give a low, powerful feeling. Maybe thats the exhaust though.
Or like Bitium said, maybe it makes everything sound better.

Binh,
It's definitely the combo of exhaust and CAI. I recently bought the quiet tips for my exhaust and when it hits VTEC it doesn't make a really loud sound anymore.
So I say CAI and exhaust gives the most sound
