Default Noise after Dynatech Header Install?

Hope to install my Dynatech headers next week. Currently running Borla Stinger. Thinking about going back to Ti after installing headers!

Just wondering if there was there a noticable increase in noise with your header install?

I didn't change out my Ti's, and had a noticable increase in exhaust note. Especially sounds good under WOT. At idle, the car has a deeper sound. I love it.

There will be a noticable increase in noise with Stingers. Add a big cam, and it gets really loud.

That's no joke! I have Corsas because of my Tigershark body kit and with the headers it's pretty loud. Glad I did them thought.

Added the Dynatech Wednesday and went with Ti exhaust. Nice and quiet cruising. Sounds like stock but hit it and the tubes give off a sound of their own. Very glad I went back to Ti.

Of course, next Spring, I might change my mind again!!

I had the Dynatech's installed last week and I stayed with the stock Ti exhaust. The exhaust note isn't much different when at idle, but as you start to rev there is a very noticable difference. At WOT it sounds quite a bit different and it sounds awesome.

I have the Dyanatech and Ti combo too, I love the Dr. Jekyl / Mr. Hyde personality transition from idle to WOT.

You'll be back with the Borla Stingers soon. So keep them just in case. I do know with the headers they are real loud. But I didn't go that route. I really want those headers for the added horsepower, just can't sacrifice the sound.

Kooks LT's w/ cats w/ Stingers here... love it. The car is rather quite at cruise especially with my partition in, but open her up and it's awesome.

I second that you should keep the Stingers b/c eventually you'll want them back on.
