?'s
I have some ?'s that I am sure will make REAL gear heads just shake their heads.
What does a Header do that adds performance?
I have a GHL Bullet cat back and love the sound, but do NOT want any louder. Will a set of headers make my system louder?
If I did get headers, can I continue to use my current H pipe and cat backs, or will I need to get an x pipe?
If I am looking for more SOTP torque, would I be better to swap my 3:15's for 3:42's, rather then putting $ into a header system? It's an A4 BTW.
Also, if I where to get a dyno tune, will my dealer UN-DO my tune, every time they work on my car? It's an 04 BTW.

Long tube headers scavenge exhaust gasses better, adding HP and Torque.
LT headers made my car quieter at idle, but louder at WOT.
You can retain your current H-pipe and catback. You can also replace the H-pipe with a X-pipe for better sound and a very minimal power increase.
3.42's may give more of a SOTP feeling.
The dealer shouldn't undo your tune unless there's something wrong with the car that they'd have to reflash the PCM.
