o.O I don't think any person being honest likes rasp lmfao. Thats like saying some people like their cars to sound like crap. If a person is willing to sacrifice good sound for minimal horsepower and what they think they are getting in gains because the box tells them so, then they deserve the rasp.

Run a proper exhaust setup and you wont have to worry about rasp.

How is he a ricer? I'd say you're the ricer, bolting on completely useless and possibly power robbing parts, just for the look. Thats the epitome of rice. I too am hesitant to get a header because I don't want to mess with my deep, trd exhaust, trd supercharged exhaust note, but at the same time I realize that form<function when it comes to modifying cars. Ideally I would rather spend the extra bucks and get the part that looks nice, AND is functional, but in this case where all headers sound crummy, I have to agree with this guy carbon, you gotta sacrafice sound if you want to squeeze out some extra horsepower. What's wrong with that?

I have that header. Very raspy... I have a Agency Power cat back and I think it has a 14" resonator. I'm putting another 18" resonator on there.

I was refering to the idea of choosing form over function, which would be what he is advocating by denying sacraficing sound for performance, which is by definition choosing form (sound) over function (performance). I could give a crap if he has a turbo or not, I had no clue, I run a modded trd supercharger, who cares.

I would rather choose your so called "form", over the lack of "function" a header gives
