Default Shorty Headers

I'm thinking of having FRPP shorty headers installed on my 07 GT. I would like to hear anyone's experience about how this sounds from inside the cabin of the car. I at one time had Magnaflow's x-pipe with high flow cats and the in-cabin noise was too loud. I am now back to the stock h-pipe with steeda axle back exhaust.

I had shorty's... at one point, but they were JBA... they didnt really make the car louder. they just changed the tone of the exhaust. I had a magnaflow catback system on also. It just made the sound a little deeper instead of louder... thats my experience with JBA though. Ive heard FRPP shorty's in person with a catback, and it seemed like thats all they did too... (just changed the tone)

I would say you're better off with the JBA shorties since they are tuned (equal length tubes) or even the BBK. You should see a better power increase from those two over the FRPP since it's not tuned.

I'm thinking of going JBA shorty myself. But who knows, I flip flop constantly on this issue.
