Default Do headers increase sound?

Regardless if their LT's or shorties, do headers increase noise?

I just put BBK Lt's on my car and a BBK O/R X and I sware it got quieter. I had the stock manifolds w/ a BBK O/R H. Is the X quieter than the H. It isn't just me my friends say it sounds quieter and better.

even shorties will liven up your sound a bit.

no they actually make your car sound like rice....







if unistalled incorectly. LTs make your car sound a lot more beefier and even shortys give it a more deeper tone

when i put my lt on and off road h i still had the stock muffs and to be honest it didnt sound much diffrent, but when i pulled it outta the muffler shop after having the flows welded in, i almost creamed my pants. i love the sound of my lt off road h and flows, and so does the guy down the street, he says my car sounds sexy as hell, and i must agree
