    Default sound change from headers

    i have the injen axel back system and i like the deep tone i get from it. i am just wondering if anyone knows if getting new headers will give a raspy high tone? i am thinking of getting the megan racing headers if that makes any difference. thanks

    Do not buy Megan. Read the stickies. There is a long discussion on exhausts. Unfortunately, headers will make it raspy if you do not get different resonators for it.
    A turbo, exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it. With a supercharger, air goes in, witchcraft happens and you go faster - Jeremy Clarkson

    The DC Sports header and the copies sold under other labels are actually a 4-1 race (high RPM HP) style header and no the street (low torque) friendly 4-2-1 type. Your best bet is to spend the money on the WR which is a true 4-2-1 and comes with an s-pipe. Yes, Megan is all junk.

    If you notice, they also show a different header which is a 4-2-1 Honda header I believe.

    That not necessarily the reseller's fault. What they post on their online stores is what the distributor provides them who, in turn, received it from the manufacturer.
