some people have to notch k members jack up motors, get motor mounts and trim block casting. if you dont know what youre doing just send it to a shop. lnog tubes will make anycar louder over stock manifolds by a lot and really bump up the power levels. however, you need Supporting mods as in lid, cat-back

Depending on if you keep the current cat back or trade it for something else you can sexpect some drone and it will be louder inside
An example of how it sounds outside can be found in the link on my sig

yes they fit very well i didnt have to notch the k member or remove the steering column like youll hear some people say and ignore the instructions they send you about possibly raising the motor.. they go right in.. its a son of a bitch to put the oil dipstick and some other bolts back in though... easier if you take the coil packs off but then you have to deal with that.. youll need your car up really high, lift or a pit would be best and youll need a buddy..

The headers will fit like a glove. No problem, no notching with the current Pace Setters. The stock motor mounts move quite a bit, and the Y may hit. Poly motor mounts fix that problem. I ran the headers, off road Y, and a hooker cat back for a month and everytime I drove the car farther than 100 miles straight it started to give me a headache it was so loud. I spent like $40 on insulation that is supposed to go around water heaters in houses I think from Lowe's and installed it from behind the front seats all the way to the back. Now no problem driving the car long distances. I have followed my car once from behind and it is loud.
