Quiet Headers and Exhaust??
Okay, I know this may be a contrarian question... but I'm looking for the best exhaust yielding some HP while having the least sound. Im thinking of adding SLP Headers, H-down pipe, Xover pipe (to minimize pop and gurgle) and PRE 66 exhaust. How much louder will this be over stock?

Its all in the motor,the exaust lets it breath,the note is breathing .
Without the breathing less power , you'll need more RWHP to get the same time slip.
Looks like you should supercharge. :cool:

Turbocharging is alot quieter than supercharging, and can make TONS of power. This isn't a flame against blowers, but, in my opinion, a turbo is the way to go! Especially since you haven't bought the exhaust yet.
