Isn't there a distinct notice at the engine when runnin headers for a first timer...A friend told me it's not likely with shorties.....Is it for longtubes only?

 

I'm talkin' muffled , not open here.... thanks

 

Headers are headers... that 'tinny' sound should be there with either, just probably more pronounced with the long tubes.

 

i had stock manifolds and a hooker catback with my stock 305... it sounded good and was relatively loud

got some shortie headers now, and a custom ypipe, and hooker catback still, and its actually quieter, and much much deeper.... more of a rumble to it... of course its now a 400 pushing the exhaust through it... and i havent put my pedal to the floor yet...
