Sounds...Header/PDE Down/Stock Cat-Back..

Well, wanted to hear what my car sounded like with my XX Tuning Header, PDE Downpipe, and Stock STI Cat-Back...

It's way quiet...toooooo quiet...

It's raspier than with the stock manifold and downpipe...get's louder with RPM's...but, it's way quiet...with the header, it sounds kind a lot like the G35/350Z stock exhaust...that's how much the header smooths out the unequal stock manifolds pulses...

Well, the B&B goes back on tonight....had enough of the quiet...It's really strange going down the highway...it sounds like the car is not even running it is so quiet...

I had my stock catback put back on for a little while, with my Helix uppipe and dp still in place and it was no louder than stock (according to my memory). Yeah, it was weirdly quiet, all you hear is the turbo spool if you roll the windows down.

I don't think I'd even recognize my car's sound if I took off my Turbo XS RFL Ti...lol!

yup...

it (the B&B) goes on ASAP! I'm still trying to get used to the sound of the header...

BPang...that RFL Ti is probably mean sounding...did you get the turbo back? The turbo-back is hellaciously loud...
