If you install a header, you're getting rid of your primary cat so there's going to be a certain amount of "rasp" that comes with the territory. I don't know what you're running for the rest of your exhaust, but if it's too raspy, you might want to add a resonator.

And I am also running these headers

Let me know what you think!

Depends on how the rest of your exhaust is set up. What does the rest of the setup look like after the headers? My UEL has 0 rasp with an N1 and I have a catted front pipe. Granted the N1 is resonated as well.

Nevermind: I just read the couple links above.

A) EL header = more raspy, especially catless.
B) That exhaust is a cheap ripoff of an N1 and the resonator looks a lot smaller. You may want to go with something a bit more muffled to combat the rasp.

Something like the Q300 is much quieter, but will be much less raspier. Sound is a difficult one depending on the header. EL can be raspy on one exhaust then turn around and use a UEL header on the same exhaust and the rasp goes away. So much goes into acoustics. My advice, keep a catted front pipe, or resonated, and have a resonated catback. Removing any of those components will introduce rasp most likely. Going loud and not raspy is a balancing act.... Trust me, I know. It took me a year of swapping exhausts till I found the combo I love.
