Ok so i have borla s type 2's on my car i want to add lg street series vararam cai and maybe fast 102, my question is how much louder will the axle back become? i am not sure if i will use cats or not. my only reservation with the cats is i dont want to smell gas in the car. i really dont care about being louder i kinda want it lol so if anyone could tell me what percentage louder this will become i would love to hear from you, thanks.

I don't have an S type, but my Borla Stingers sounded great when the car was stock. After installing LG street series headers, it sounded like a NASCAR with more than 15% throttle - way too much for me. I swapped to Borla Touring within the week. The Touring setup with headers sounded very similar to the Stingers did with a stock motor.

Hope that helps a bit.

If you install cats it is not that much louder. It's just a bit more raspy when you're on it. I have the stype kit with the super pros and it sounds great.

On the dyno:

That sounded pretty good, waiting till my warranty is up in Dec before getting headers and a tune. Doing as much research and video watching as possible, Thanks for sharing

That sounds crazy lol. what other mods did you have at time of dyno tune? did you set any parameters for the tune? what kind of hp/ tq numbers did you put down? so, no cats on yours? thanks

No I have cats in this vid. That's the dyno after headers and a tune.

Are you talking about the atak system? If so, I bet it would be loud as hell!!

C7&7

No he's talking about the S-Type kit. It's the middle of the road kit. In between the touring and Atak.

yes S type 2 they sound good and knowing i want headers i didnt go with the atak im not trying to wake the dead. that said im just curious as to how much louder it will become with headers

I'd like to know how the stype 2 sounds with headers too. Not the s-type, they are different systems.

Just a update, put on obx longtubes no cats, sounds amazing. The sound is a lot differant and much more muscle car sounding. Put the headers on in apartment parking lot, got the car 15 inches off the ground by using 6 2x12x16 under each tire. Fit was good no major issues with the install. Did take 8 hours with the help of a friend/coworker. We are both Toolmakers and mechanics, not used to working on cars but we build and repair machines daily so not that much of a stretch. THE ONE THING I WILL STRESS IS KEEP THE SLAVE CYLINDER HOSE FOR THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH AWAY FROM THE HEADERS. I MELTED THE HOSE DRIVING THE NEXT DAY AND SPENT 1600 TO GET IT FIXED AT PAUL MASSE CHEVY. The mechanic told me had I moved the hose a 1/4 inch away from the header I would have been fine. Live and learn I guess.
