I had TTS LT's with cats and a loudmouth. The headers definitely helped with any interior resonance.

Default LT headers reduce LM drone ??

I'm planning on getting SLP LT headers WITH cats. I know it will be louder at WOT, but I was wondering if this will reduce the 1800 - 2100 rpm drone of the loudmouth ??

thanks!

Before when I would go visit my parents (100 miles one way) I would sometimes get a headache from the drone. Since getting the headers my car is now a pleasure to take on long trips and sounds great. From the inside of the car the exhaust sounds good and IMO not very loud. Ive never heard it from the outside but all my friends tell me that it is loud and that it sounds awsome. Oh yeah at around 4000 rpm the exhaust tone begins to scream.
