Headers
I'm thinking about putting Headers on the Toy, I have a GHL Bullet Cat Back System and was wanting to get some feedback on how much more in car noise ( at cruise ) I might expect with Headers. Any and all comments will be helpful.
Thanks

I don't know about the GHLs. I have Corsas with Dynatech headers and there is no increased sound level at cruise. There is a noticeable increase during acceleration and WOT though.

I have the Corsa pace cars with the Dynatechs, you don't hear them when cruising. You start to notice them a bit around 75-80 mph, but still not loud unless you are on it.

I am running GHL and just had the American Racing Headers put on about 3 weeks ago and let me tell you, it has a nice rumble sound to it. (I was at a stop and some "ricer" kids were out and they yelled "What you got under the hood" and I replied "nothing"...and just smiled). that was just the rumbling sound of the headers and the exhaust....pretty awesome. 
Look at the sig for power gain from baseline dyno.
