The vibrations under feet I felt were slight, noticeable but slight. Noticed it in my pedals driving it right after swapping, afterwards forgot about it. Mainly clutch pedal. Basically, it was noticeable enough I was like 'wtf?!' but insignificant enough I forgot about it/got used to it the next day.
Ever since swapping headers/op though, it feels like I have more vibrations coming through my steering wheel at times. I'm sensitive to vibrations coming through my wrists (I can't push a shopping cart over a large asphalt parking lot without it irritating my wrists). It's enough that at times I have to take the hand of the irritated wrist off my steering wheel for a bit.
Not saying these are major vibrations (not talking about nasty frame rubbing vibrations), just noticeable by me, in my car, which is my DDer, after header/op swap, with this specific header/op + FP/CBE combo. I haven't tried any other aftermarket headers so wouldn't know about them.
As far as noise, well, no heat shield so there is more noise. Oh, and louder crickets. Haha
