Does putting on custom headers change the sound of the car?

Im trying to get a nice deep rumble from my car. Ive already got a LSD axleback installed and it sounds deep but its a little too quiet for me.

Which model do you have GD or GE? There is no traditional type header for the GE. On the GD if everything else is left the same there is no change in noise.

I got a GD. So since i already have a axleback on, the headers will enhance it?

If you have not already, check out this thread https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...os-inside.html It might help in your search for a header and what the car might sound like.

Not true if the only thing changed is the header. It's simply physics you are still moving the same volume of exhaust gases (ok maybe a minute amount more) but not enough to alter the noise level.

My car sounds all of nothing like this one:


I'm also operating under the assumption that OP is getting a header that eliminates the cat.

Like I said IF ONLY THE HEADER IS CHANGED. and a ps there is only one brand of header for the GD that removes the cat the rest DON'T.

Subsequent side argument moved to: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/wast...ty-beyond.html with well intended humor in the title to be appreciated by both sides.
