Headers getting installed Saturday , one question...
Hello , My headers and tune (Predator) are being done this Saturday. So now I will have LPE air intake , Headers and Borla cat back. Will the headers going on make the exhaust sound even louder or deeper than with just the Borla ?
SLP also advertises up to .4 faster ET , and 4 mph faster trap speed. Do those numbers sound accurate , or optomistic ?
OK , I guess thats 2 questions.
Thanks.

The headers will be louder, but I don't think they will have a deeper sound. They will have that "header sound" which I can't describe but sure know it when I hear it.
Enjoy your new setup it should give you a noticible performance increase.

It will actually make the borlas more high - pitch. They sound good, and they sound similar down low, but up top they scream.
With no cats, it drones a bit around 1600 (A6) but I like the sound over all.
