Default I need your help

Hello) 2 days ago I nstalled my new sikky headers with Joe Z exhaust/intake. And now I have a problem with very loud exhaust. What you recommend me to do, buy maybe some cats or to make Soundproofing of the trunk ( Noise isolation , sorry for my english) ? Ears start to hurt after a ride with my exhaust

You could either switch back to your oem cat-back or you can have new cats installed on your joe-z exhaust system.

If you install cats you'll lose some horsepower for sure, but it won't be a massive amount. It'll help you with your drone, but you may want to try fitting the stock exhaust first. Adding cats (from what I've read) may cut down on drone and overall sound level but not enough for your taste.

I remember Caymandive was using race hi flow cats. Forgot the name brand but also be warned that a member on here who tracks his car had the cats melted from overheat due to tracking his car. If your just daily driving it should be fine.
