Default Headers on daily driver

I was wondering if anyone has headers on their daily driver? Does the silent/quiet mode make it livable. Mostly for the wife.

Ya, it's not bad at all actually. Only when you get on it from part throttle to mid/full throttle (if you dare) is when it sounds like a Banshee has escaped from the underground. Driving around normally is fine (until the RPMs start to climb.)

You do not even hear them when in any mode other than sport or race, dead quiet. In normal driving they are not that loud in sport or race until you put the throttle down or get into higher rpm's.

Had headers with stock exhaust on my CTSV and I loved it. You couldn't even tell until you got on it, as others have mentioned.

Sport and Track settings a totally different matter
