i doubt you will get the v8 sound. ive got a superturbo 3 inch in 3 inch out 3 inch hi flow cat 3 inch piping and all headers and its quiet u can hear it alittle in the car when you have the windows up at about 1600-1800rpm. cant really hear it when windows are down. at w00t i cant hear the muffler my engine is louder than it. im not sure what it sounds like outside the car though. oh i got a v8

i have a friend that recently put pacesetter headers in his 93 3.4 camaro with a stock cat/i pipe and flowmaster rear section... I couldnt really hear a difference in the sound of his exhaust, but it is a different engine, so its your call..

actually, typically headers will make a car sound a little more raspy. its hard to say what it'll sound like with that muffler though. but, manifolds will make it deeper.

OK, OK, I've been slakin.

I did get the um "converter" put in yesterday. But they didnt have a block off plate for the dump, so I'm basically still running open headers.

Pictures, I havent had time to load on my site. Been working on the models pictures which I took 3 weeks ago Was sick last night, hopefully I can get home and create a page for them tonight.

Forgot to call about the block off plate GTG.
