I have a full megan setup s pipe, mid, oe-rs rear. Has anyone put a header on this and what was the result. I know most setups get loud and raspy with a header but mine is barely louder than stock as it sits now. I'd like to get some more power but with not too much noise since its a dd. Since this setup has 2 resonators and a real muffler, not canister I'm thinking it might not be that bad, any input?

 

its really bad. very...tinny sounding i took a video but i cant upload it to youtube for some reason.

i have a dc sports header, injen short ram, and oe-rs catback

ill try to get my video uploaded somewhere

 

it can't be worse than having the drift spec can it? mine is LOUD...

"feeet" most exhuast sound ike garbage with no spipe. You have onlyt a header and catback witch means the pipeing changes diameters inbtween the header and catback becuase of the restricive s-pipe. try adding the spipe and then take sound clips. As for kizale. i think it will deff and some sound but the rs muffler is pretty good at keeping noise down, id say ur safe

 

i have the megan s-pipe, mid and OE-RS as well. upon putting on my Strup header, it didnt make it much louder. it did however make this annoying sound right at 3k-3.5k which sounded like a bunch of bees in a tin can. overall the exhaust tone was quiet for being completely aftermarket.

i chopped off both of the megan resonators on the midpipe and put on my own, and the annoying sound went away.

here is my thread i made about it: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=216082

Thanks for the input, that should help me make up my mind. I got my car almost how I want it, interior, exterior, wheels, suspension are done but I want a lil more power to complement my intake and exhaust. Now I still need to make up my mind about a pulley. Lots of info supporting both sides, it seems that the only ones who had bearing problems were 05s and they were with or without a pulley. On the other hand even if it is safe some have said the gains are not even noticeable. Hmmm
