Question on exhaust

are headers (lets say long tubes?) really that much louder than going with stock headers and a tp's?

Since I've never heard someone with TP's I can't say how they compare but the difference from CBE only to CBE+LTH was night and day.

Honestly, I think it's Quieter than TP/HFC's.

After having mine installed and hearing it next to cars with FI exhausts and TPs/HFC's, mine was considerably quieter on idle, and only got loud when I got on it (when I want it to be loud).

Also headers will change the tone of the exhaust making it slightly higher, giving it that more exotic sound, which I like.

In terms of doing it just to a DD and only looking at a sound change, I wouldn't recommend the headers due to the cost/labor. A CBE and maybe HFC's would be enough for what you're looking to do.

Tony @ F.I. will answer any questions you might have based on your specific needs/desires if you give him a call. And he's always helpful if you hit a snag in your install.
