Default PPE Headers sound with stock exhaust

Does anyone have a sound clip of this? Every video I find has both headers and exhaust. If there aren't any videos, if anyone has run this setup before, how does the car sound with just headers? (how much louder than stock, any drone?)

For anyone wondering I don't want the car to be too loud. Thanks!

I have PPE headers on a stock mid-pipe and stock axle back. But I also have a pretty loud short ram Fujita intake. I'd easily say my intake is louder than my headers. LOL!

Anyhow, if you'd worried about the additional sound output while using a factory mid-pipe and axle back, don't be.

Appreciate it. Thanks! I just have a Joe Z intake and it really isn't much louder over stock unless I rev it up. I was hoping headers wouldn't make it too much louder and it seems like they don't.

Not sure if this will help but... as I was putting the 250 back to stock, I had a stock mid pipe and muffler delete with Mazzuri headers. I changed the headers out and put in the stock manifold, and the sound was really not that much different... I thought it was going to be insanely quieter but it really wasn't. It was definitely at least a little bit quieter, but really not too much of a difference at all. But when I had an aftermarket mid pipe, and then put the headers on... it was much much louder. The headers seemed to be amplified only when I had an aftermarket mid pipe set up.

Yes, stock mid-pipe. There are no audible downsides at all with these setup.

No problem! They really won't. Yes, it will be noticeable; but nothing annoy or obnoxious.

Thanks for the confirmation!
