Default how loud is the F with headers?

I'm thinking of buying either PPE or Sikky headers for my next mod, I currently have Borla cat back exhaust and Joe z intake pipe

I been searching for videos inside the cabin with that set up and I cant find anything , does any one have a cabin video that can post, I just want to hear how loud will it get inside the cabin

thanks

My buddy redlines car seemed tolerable considering all the mods to the exhaust. I swear ( and he said it too ) that my JZ exhaust sounded louder than his broken in system with headers for the first week I had the car until it mellows. It sounded CRAZY .

In the end you will adapt. Just be careful of those damn CEL's .

I have sikky headers and borla exhaust and it's just a bit louder than the borla exhaust alone. The headers did increase the rumble and overall sound of the borla but not as much as I was expecting. The joe z exhaust by itself it's bit louder than the sikky/borla combo.

The "RR-Racing" vendor website (board vendor) has some you-tubes for comparison (sorry, I'm no good at posting actual inks). I think I gonna go for their "Bazooka" option, since I'm old & can't hear so great.

It's not that bad! It's kinda loud when you get on it and at first start up for the first minute but it's in a good way. The only comparison I could use is its reminds me of my fox body mustang with headers and flow master exhaust.
Here's mine outside!

I don't have an in-cabin video. But Here is my Borla exhaust w/PPE headers, no cats, and Takeda intake (similar sound to Joe-Z tube).

It isn't excessively loud unless you really step on it, and there isn't any of what I would call "drone". I think it sounds incredible!
