Default Ebay headers + B&B bullets, how loud?

I think this would be my cheapest route to a nice and loud exhaust. But how loud will this setup really be without cats? Will it drone horrible and give me headaches? This would be in a 6 speed if that helps. I just can't see myself spending a grand or more on a catback for a couple of mufflers. Maybe if I can find the Hooker catback at autozone that would work... Anyways, can someone PM the information on how to buy the SSAC headers for the cheapest price? Thanks.

I dont think you will have headaches with this combination...EVERYONE ELSE WILL!
Bullets are loud enough ...add headers and your asking for some big time head turning....
You ask about drone...well bullets have drone period!

Do you have this setup that I am talking about? Your profile says you live in Buena, I am actually from Vineland and I am student teaching over in Buena at the high school.

Get something other than ebay headers
the fit sucks , ended up costing me as much as brand name headers to make them fit .
some people don't have issues with them , but a lot do , inconsistent quality and fit .
You get what you pay for .

I have the bullets on a six speed and I love them. They have a serious drone at a cruise and are quite noisey in the cabin but they are very cool. The 4" quad tips are very aggressive looking.

I've got tpis lts with b&b bullets but I only have a serious drone around 2000 rpm's. In 6th cruising at 70-75 it isn't quiet but it isn't too terribly loud. It sounds great crusing around town. Definately worth it in my opinion.
