Headers and straight pipes

Could you run headers with the straight pipes also? Don't want it to be super loud but would like it to have a good rumble.

Let me be the first to say it will sound terribly loud and just plain terrible IMO.

straight pipes sound awesome with a decent motor!

I had 3inch from my ypip eall the way to my flowmaster, a guy came out and bought my flowmaster,so i cut it off, the car was alot louder,but definately a lot more powerful!

I cut the pipe right behind the rearend, the car definately ran better, and had a sound that is only comparable to a prostock stock car!!!

sounds 10x better than any flowmaster or and one helluva a growl!

just dont dump any shorter than the rear wheels or you could have too much inside noise!
