Default LT Headers

Would the addition of LT headers be noticable at the front of the car at idle? I know that the exhaust level is going to get louder in general depending what mufflers you are using.

You'll probably hear some additional noise, but it won't be bad at all.

very slight, a motorhead would know you got headers, an average joe off the street - maybe, but at startup is where you can tell the most.

I had ARH's installed last night. Biggest difference is startup and when you excelerate past 2k rpm's. I was concerned that they would be too loud with my Corsa pace cars, but not at all. I am very happy and they are very tame at low rpms when driving slowly thru the hood. They passed the wife test as well.
