Default headers question

i was thinking about doing edelbrock midlength headers, because i want to leave the cats and im running the slp loudmouth I ... im looking for a little better sound with the headers, not too worried about performance issues .. just wondering if the midlengths will do enough for sound compared to the stock manifolds

Should be a little louder I would imagine.

Not sure how much of a sound difference you will even notice with them still cat'd. I have two T/a's, a 98 and a 99. The 98 has the stock manifolds, and y-pipe with a magnaflow cat back exhaust. The 99 has Pacesetter LT's, TSP cat's y-pipe and a magnaflow cat back exhaust. You would be hard to tell the difference between the two are idle or low speed. They almost sound the same. I am sure a WOT run tells a different story, but its harded to test that

You WILL increase and deepen the sound with shorties, even over stock manifolds. I did. Not as much as LTs, but a significant amount.
