help!

whats up guys, new to this and need some help. my current set up is a greddy momentum intake and borla headers (not installed yet). i want to know if there is a big difference between a downpipe and overpipe and what do they exactly do to the sound of my car with stock exhaust. i dont mind it being loud, but not too over the top. any advice will help!

well the big difference would be if you changed your front pipe (which i believe you are referring to by saying down pipe) because on the stock front pipe there is both a cat and a resonator. if you get an aftermarket front pipe without the cat or resonator (or both) then it would increase the sound.

do you want to keep your stock exhaust or something?

most NA gains are made with catless headers and aftermarket front pipe / "down pipe".
if you go completely catless and resonatorless you will be "over the top" loud, and raspy...

my advice = catless header, reasonated catted front pipe, any decent exaust
