Is anyone here running an ebay n1 catback with headers, right now I have the exhaust and I am thinking of doing headers too but i'm afraid of it being too raspy. I am trying to get an idea of how my setup would sound so i know that it won't bee too raspy or loud. The headers will be the same as old obx 4-2-1 headers, and I will be running the stock cat. This is the only video i can find of a setup like this and it still doesn't help much.

I don't know how much this helps...but I have ebay n1 exhaust as well, and I don't have a front cat (replaced with turbo exhaust manifold). I do have the second cat though, so I am guessing your car ought to sound very similar to mine. It's so hard to record car sound though, anyhow...I'm thinking it's going to sound very...very buzzy, like deep droning sound that gives you a headache. Mine does, but...I like it.

I think I'm gonna be sick...^
Kind a Blair Whitch of car drives.

As for your header question;
I've got a MagnaFlow cat back, OBX header and have niether front nor back cat.
My car sounds good.
Nice deep tone (for a 4 bagger) and it is loud though.

So my point is this;
I don't think the header will change the tone of your exhaust, rather I think it will just make it much louder.

Oh and Hornstar, barefoot the only way to drive

 

Can't very well drive in flip flops, can I???

As far as the camera...I want one of them "mounts" so I don't have to hold the camera in my hand. Still, the point of that video was just audio because I was trying to ask some peeps if my BOV sounds like it's working ok. It had this sort of "double thump" like it surges for a millisecond, and then functions normally.

As far as magnaflow vs N1....that N1 is not quiet to begin with, magnaflow at least has some reasonable db levels.

 

I've never heard the N1, I wonder how it will sound with a header.
Prob. will be loud as hell, assuming it is that much louder then MagnaFlow.
