All un-catted EL headers are relatively equal for loudness the only differences in sound would be due to thickness of the steel used. If you are looking for catted EL header that would be quieter but there is a trade off for less power. All the rest of the mitigation of loudness and rasp is going to be achieved by resonators, secondary cats and mufflers. As a general rule if your current exhaust set up is at the loudness level you find tolerable, going to a header will be significantly louder. You should be able to find sound clips of various EL headers out there but the biggest differences in noise will be from exhaust set ups without resonators or secondary cats and muffler size. Not so much from the header itself.
