S&s Headers

Are you gonna use a cat???

[Wildman]

Yeah, I got it put on yesterday. I'm still ironing out some minor problems. Had some ratteling issues and stuff, but its pretty much done. I used a Generic Universal cat from my work.

how loud is it with it hooked up to the exhaust, im doing magnaflow exhaust next, but i hope to get headers by the end of the year...but im afraid it will be to loud. ive heard if you install a highflow cat it gets really loud, i suppose you could always put a resonator in if its to loud

im jealous!

Well, I have a normal cat, not high flow. Also, I have a Borla cat back. The Borla is one of the quietest performance mufflers for us. So, all that considered, when I put on my headers, I did notice it just a little bit louder exhaust. Nothing major at all. But it also changed the tone a little bit too. A deeper tone now. But to answer your question, no it's not loud at all, but the Borla does have a resonator in it, so whatever you like, you can pretty much set it up how you want it to sound. I'll post some finished products pics later. But now I gotta save a little for a dyno run. Them i'm writing a review

would it be possible to put up some sound clips when you get a chance. I know it will probably be quieter being borla but i wanna compare the SS headers with the TOGs that I've heard on a SLP. thanks

Well, I dont have a sound clip right now, but it sounds close to what the Borla does before hand. Its a little deeper tone now and a little bit louder, but not much. The only thing that is good/bad is that with headers, the engine is actually quieter now(good) but I miss having the loud noise that would wail at 5000rpms that is not as loud anymore cause of the headers(bad )
