Default Might be a long shot BUT...

By any chance, does anyone here have videos or sound clips of their cars with long tube headers, with both catted and off-road midpipes, regardless of mufflers?

I'm debating getting an off road H pipe for my car over the winter, just wondering how much of a volume increase I would be looking at.

I have no before but here's my video. Pypes longtube headers/Pypes off road x-pipe/Pypes M80s as resonators/Bassani Race axle-backs. Only idle and slight rev because full throttle videos always sound like crap unless you have a great mic when it's this loud. It's louder than a catted setup but not by too much. The headers by themselves make the biggest increase in loudness. No cats contribute to overall raspiness and trumpeting.

Holy crap that WOT sounds awesome! What axle backs are you running?

edit: N/M, saw your sig. One of the best sounding setups I've heard

How was the install on the Pacesetters? How are they holding up? Did you get them coated or put wrap on them?

The older Ford Racing (Borla Stingers I believe) is the axle back. I have stock mufflers to put on to see if it will quiet down a little bit, it is obnoxious at WOT (puts a smile on my face anyway).

My installer had no issues with the Pacesetter installs, said he followed the included instructions and everything went on smooth. Yes I had them ceramic coated, so far so good... some of the coating coming off the collectors since I do drive it year around.
