Question for anyone who ran Open Headers and went to True Duals: How much of a Volume difference was there once you went from Open Headers to True Duals (dumped in front of the axle)? I'd like to get a custom TD setup made dumped in front of the axle, and I have people telling me its going to be just as loud as open headers, which I find hard to believe, because that is just rediculously loud. Any input at all?

No cats I presume? It will most likely drone equally inside the car. Open headers are going to be way louder than an x or h pipe. Who on earth told you that it is just as loud?
Not to mention the fact that you will roast your 02 sensors with open headers and have no kind of exhaust velocity, thus decreasing lowend.

Nothing is louder than open headers. Exhaust piping itself muffles exhaust tone. Right now on my 408, i am running an open Y pipe with no muffler/no cats. It's ******* loud
When i ran open headers on my cammed 346, it was WAY louder.

Just the h-pipe quieted it down a lot. Trending Topics

i went with a 3" x and 3" magnaflow 4x9 mufflers, dumped under the axle. it is comparable to stock inside the car..what drone? i can hear my MINIMAL gear whine over the drone. open headers is horrible inside the car. it does not even compare to my exhaust. i don't know about bullets, but i do know that my magnaflows are ******* awesome. very deep at idle and normal driving, WOT can be heard for miles, not raspy...hardly noticeably drone at highway speeds.

Now that they are out the back, I'm in heaven. Very aggressive sound. Still loud, just not in the car. And no drone at all.
