keep in mind that my exhaust was super smooth before hand so i had a great starting point.
headers made my exhaust a little louder for sure. a good loud, but louder non the less. a meaner sound if you will. there still is 0 rasp, but like i said the note isnt quite as smooth as it was.
if you arent running a good catback (with a resinator) you may see some rasp (cant say for sure). i have a magnaflow res. (18" long i think) and didnt get any rasp. even on near 0 degree F mornings.
is the performance worth it? hell yes.
