yea but you can tell the sound in the video is mostly the engine and headers. the intake isn't audible and the tanabe exhaust isn't exactly very loud to begin with.

again the sound of the engine will change, and its volume seems to have gone up a bit but not enough to be an issue for the those most likely to buy

I'm sorry, but I've never heard of headers increasing volume. I've had several headers with previous cars, and I have only noticed slight changes in the sound, not volume increases. However, in this case, I would expect some amount of increase in volume from the missing primary cats, but that's still not going to be as significant as the aftermarket exhaust and / or intake.

Note that the increase in volume I was referring to here was from the exhaust noise exiting the mufflers. I have noticed that headers can make noises like valve tick louder due to the thin wall tubing.

Hence why I offered to do a DIY installation thread while installing it myself for free. Actually, even if I had money to burn, I would still install it myself.
