Hey guys. I have a question about exhaust tone. When I took off the muffler from the car with stock header, cat and down pipe, it sounded really deep and nice. It was probably the nicest exhaust tone iv ever heard. Then i changed the header to a JDM 4-1 header, with a carsound cat and a 60mm downpipe, and the Exhaust all of a sudden got rediculously loud. It also wasnt deep anymore, it was raspy as hell.

Even though its loud.......its really fast, it kind of sounds like a WRX with an exhaust (maybe its because the air/fuel mixture is all messed up).

Has anyone else experienced this quality after they changed their header/cat/Exhaust?

Do all you guys out there with Header/cat/exhaust putting down good whp numbers also have realllly loud exhausts?

Then put your muffler back on.
