Header and loudmouth

I have a loudmouth exhaust and y pipe in my car now, and am planning on removing the cats and putting a set of pacesetter headers on, a nice cam and valve train upgrade and then having it dyno tuned. Question: would a set of headers going into the loudmouth be too raspy and loud or would anyone suggest putting a dynomax bullet in the system to help not p.o. the neighbors and attract the cops?

I want it to sound deep, mellow, and aggressive, but not too loud decibel wise. I like the loudmouth as it is at the moment but know the headers will help alot. Suggestions?

I got an off-road y-pipe for sale if you are looking for one...made to bolt right up to longtubes......no welding needed and definately put on the bullet.

Re: Header and loudmouth

if you remove the cats, then you will get mega rasp. Get some high flow cats, and that will mellow out the sound.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the input. I am big on gathering info from those who know better or have experience where I do not. That is the beauty of this site.

Thanks a bunch.
