Wow okay sounds like a great option I never thought about them! When you used to have the exhaust, I know you said you didn’t have headers with it, but did it drone in any way or at cruising speeds? That’s my main concern at least with my exhaust my ears about start bleeding on the freeway smh

No drone whatsoever; volume was only a tad louder than stock.

Even another member who had a catless header with the Nur-Spec R reported no drone:

"My system consists of an ACE 4-2-1 Type-A 350 equal length header, Motiv catted front pipe, and the Blitz Nür Spec R stainless steel exhaust, and there’s no drone and conversation is easily held at any RPM..."

Probably worth it to point out that it seems the really high quality thick wall ceramic coated EL headers like JDL and ACE seem to quiet things down a lot compared to most cheaper UEL headers.

This. My JDL header with stock everything else was barely different sounding that stock, except for the UEL tone of course.

I agree with this as well.

Wishing I didn’t get the Tomei UEL headers now although they aren’t cheap they are just loud

Power wise and build quality they are solid. Just thin SS so they are loud. If you want the UEL rumble look at JDL UEL or FTspeed catted and coated headers

Just did some minor sound testing with my Invidia N2 Catback + Tomei UEL headers and inside the cabin I got anywhere from 78db to 88db (cruising and accelerating speeds). Then I went to an open area where sound couldn’t echo very much, had a buddy stand about 10 feet from the left exhaust and revved to 4k reaching about 98 - 101db. Revved 3k about 92 - 95db. The Tanabe I believe is like around that range for decibels and BTR Justin had been recorded at around upwards to 102db while racing it.
