Default headers?

Fixing to put a set of long Tube headers on and I was wondering if I would be able to hear the difference in sound? I've already got B&B Bullets on with x-pipe.

Nothing like the sound of headers... what are you hoping for? You'll get a nicer sound out the back, also more noise from the motor and under side.

It's going to be LOUD with bullets, especially if you don't use cats! Put the headers on, if it's too loud, get a set of ti's.

Yeah the Ti's sound great with headers. A great sound when you stomp it to the floor!
