Headers change sound?
 
Hy boys, i have a question, maybe a stupid question..

I have a 2005 convertible stang, with xpipe by Pypes Perfomance and 2 muffler by nxt performance.. The sound is very nice and deep, i love it!

I've bought a shorty headers, but it will change the sound of the exhaust?? and I earn any performance? I will maintain the original catalyst, and I have a K&n Panel Air Filter and tune 91 Octane by Diablo Sport Predator.

Thanks, and happy Mustang!:icon_drink:

They will free up some power in the mid range but little and gets rid of mostly any high pitch exhaust noise in the mid to upper RPMs.

gains in the mid and top, mostly non-peak gains. Sound is deeper and little if any raspiness. I have them and like everythign they've done for my car.

Good! Anyone have a video with sound??

eBay headers ftw! My buddy has the same ones you do and they are pretty good quality!

Great welds on mine and no rust, they are real stainless steel! I have some videos right after I put them on (headers not broken in/heated up) with a single muffle, havent uploaded videos of my duals yet.

Not the best mic quality. Just like new exhaust, the more miles you gt on it the better it sounds. When it's warmer here I am going to do more videos.

Good sound!! But on the video, do you have the stock exhaust??? The sound is very deeper, cool!

No the video I have a single GT muffler on it. Stock pipes though.

Now i have a full GT 2.5" exhaust from the cats back (and still the ebay headers)

Headers
 
Putting headers on the car does make the car sound a whole lot better I just put a set of bbk,s on with my upr x pipe and 40,s it sounds really good nice and deep i took some the wine out of it that the x pipe usally makes you,ll love it.
