Quietest EL Header?
I currently have a TRD cat-back and am considering adding a header to the mix, but at the same time I'm at that age where I don't want to have a loud, raspy exhaust note. So I'm looking for the quietest EQUAL LENGTH header to pair with my TRD. Include sound clips too! Bonus points for sound clips with the TRD cat-back! Thanks guys...

JDL EL catted header maybe? I have that one with a nameless catted & resonated front/over pipe and the stock cat back and it is very acceptable as far as volume, even on cold starts. I have no problem driving around a residential neighborhood early/late at night.

Installed P&L catted/coated header and overpipe. Apart from a more bassy tone it is not louder than stock at all. However, to get the most out of it you would need a tune.

I hate loud exhausts and especially drone and ive been researching this header for months and all the sound clips that have the P&L Catted header also have various other aftermarket exhaust parts so its hard for me to tell how it will sound in my stock exhaust system. At what RPM does it become noticeably louder? Cold start idle? What Speed? Will it be annoying loud cruising at 70-85mph? |

This setup with a cat isn't loud, different but not loud. My daughter is running a stock catback. Check my signature It becomes louder at WOT I lowered the cold start idle speed with OFT It is quiet at cruise, until you give it the beans, then it sounds powerful, not loud or obnoxious Merry Christmas

Any chance either of you could get some sound clips and/or decibel readings(using an app like "Decibel 10th")? And what cat-backs do you guys have paired with this header? (and by the way I am tuned) Thanks!!

Not sure a dB reading would be of much help either as I don't have a reading prior to installing the header, and background noise will skew the results. |
