Default ptuning + header/spipe?

hey guys was just wondering if anyone has done ptuning 3" with headers and spipe.
yes i tried searching but it did not resolve my question...
i was wondering how it would sound like with headers (4-2-1) especially. will it sound raspy or sound great? since ptuning exhaust is pretty much 3" tubing with one 7" muffler in the middle

and dont post saying no i wouldnt put a 3" on na or something im not asking about that if you do then learn to read

It will probably sound quite obnoxious.

you'll probably be louder than my tc is. i have a 4-2-1 header and 3 inch exhaust with high flow cat, resonator and muffler, and i am over 140 decibels at WOT.

so do either a header and s-pipe, or just the 3 inch exhaust. but if you are not going turbo, just get 2.5 inch because the noise gets unbelievable.

you will basically sound like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7RFaiKu-LA

We have installed our 3" turbo-back and 3" s-back exhaust systems on many local NA and SC Scion tC. They all sound great until you put on an aftermarket header (any brand). The header is what increase the dB and change the exhaust note. Hope this help.

who are you talking about? the black saab? or my silver tc?

my suspension is very solid, and my engine sounds like crap, while the saab sounds pretty awesome being a turbo v-6 but is on stock suspension, but it is a sportier limited edition turboX version though.
