Will headers change the sound significantly?

TexasSnake · January 9th, 2008, 09:21 AM

I am looking at installing headers on my SRT. I currently have stainless exhaust with the cats removed, so it is loud as hell...the way I wanted it. Will adding headers change the sound and if so, how? (deeper, raspier, etc...)

Thanks

It will be WAY loud with that set up! Cool if it is a race car but not for a street car IMHO.

You will continue with the VERY LOUD, and after installing Belangers your going to have a deeper VERY LOUD!

don't listen to them they are messing with you. It will sound exactly like stock.

Is your opinion based on the concern of getting pulled over by the cops or that it would be too loud as a nuisance while driving?

Thanks...

Much Louder!!!!!!!!

Under normal driving I have found that combo to be too loud. I added 2 Burns mufflers in front of the stock mufflers and under 2500 rpm it is very quiet and livable. After that is sounds like the gates of hell have opened and there playing my song.

I guess I've always liked race vehicles as loud as they possible can be while still sounding clean and without a lot of backfire sounds. I hope that this set up will be satisfying because that is what I went with. I should be getting it back soon.

It's already loud as hell. I am hoping for a deeper tone. It really doesn't need to get much louder!

jcasper89 · January 27th, 2008, 05:58 PM

Nothing ever NEEDS to get louder, but I WANT mine as loud as possible!!!!

**MbnViper** · January 27th, 2008, 07:06 PM

i installed high flow cats today and noticed no change at all lol

car still loud !

B&B headers and exhaust/ no cats + s/c + cam = very loud

Im going crazy trying to make this car quite “TEMPORARY”

thinking stock exhasut

The M&M headers I added were mild steel and gave a nice deeper tone. I also have a Corsa and NO cats. Its very loud, but i like it. I dont think Vipers should be quiet. Maybe if it was a daily driver, id go a little quieter. Anywasy, go for it, you'll love it even more with headers.

Here's a clip I took of a friend's 2003 SRT with Paxton and full Belanger exhaust (headers, cats, exhaust). As you can hear from the sound clip, I really liked it:
