RE: ======== Header FAQ ======== - 10/9/2007 7:02:54 AM    redcivicrippa98   Posts: 8 Joined: 10/3/2007 Status: offline pretty informative, but one thing i found was that a header will definitley change the sound of your motor. there is no question, perhaps not louder in some cases, but the tone is way different, usually always ricey. i put a header on my HX along with a 2.25inch catback with Tanabe muffler and it sounded like a V6 until 5000rpm. this thing is loud though, even with the silencer. im not calling you a liar, i dont know what car(s) you have put headers on.
