Default Are headers that loud with no exhaust?

Right now, i have my stock exhaust manifolds, and stock cats, and that is it. if i put just headers on will it be a lot louder than what i have right now? i know the bullets are pretty much a regular pipe, but would that help to put a couple of those on? im kind of a broke *** right now(just bought some wheels) and cant really afford the exhaust. thanks for any help/suggestions.

I'm running SLP lt's no cats and Loudmouth. Loudmouth is basically no exhaust if you ask me. Just pipes. It is BLOODY LOUD! And the smell is awful...but I kinda like it hehehe. My next mod is hearing aids. :p

If you just plan to run headers only make sure you have at least 6 - 8 inches of pipe behind your O2 sensors so they can get a accurate reading. Other wise they will get too much 02 from the outside air and you'll have a very sluggish idle and acceleration.

I would run my Hookers with no cats and have my cutout open sometimes and it is stupid loud
