Do headers really help a lot with an exhaust? Do they help deepin' the sound that much?

 

Do headers make more power?
Yes, in fact, anything that helps move air (and/or fuel) in and out of the engine- generates more power.

Do headers make the exhaust deeper?
While it may not make the exhaust sound deeper, it will certainly be louder. As a general rule, the less restriction the exhaust flow has- the louder the noise level becomes.

 

Just don't waste money on shortie headers. Go long or go home

 

Longtube headders are the only ones worth spending money on. It does wonders for your sound, I guarntee some people will think you have a v8.

 

If you are going to get LTs just check the State exhaust laws to see if you have to have Cats or not...

longtubes and exhaust will give you a deeper, better sound. but check your state laws abvout emissions testing. there are no catted short mid-pipes in production for our cars, so you will need to have an O/R pipe modified with cats or have it completely custom built.

 

I live in St. Peters, MO and they are strict on emissions like that. I couldn't get longtubes because they cancel out the Cats. It's dumb...

 

^^ or you didnt research enough. like the guy right before you said, you can buy the mid pipe and have the shop weld in cats
