That's what I'm hoping for.  Stazi's putting my headers in in about a week and a half. I've already got the Borla cat back and the free flow cat and y-pipe from SP Motorsports. I guess we'll see what happens--better be good.

Well I answered one question, so maybe I can get an answer to mine. As I stated, I have MSDS Headers + y-pipe, Bassani catback and a Magnaflow resonator. Im most likely going to buy the Trubendz SS test pipe to put in place of my main cat.
Will the Magnaflow Resonator be enough to keep the car from rasping if I have the test pipe in? What kind of top end power can I expect with a decently modded 3.0L Hybrid?

Awesome, good responses, thank you. The car has full stock exhaust right now, only looking at the headers right now for sure because of the gains, and if it sounds good with the stock exhaust just louder, that's perfect... if it gets raspy, it will need to dissapear, so what would you suggest at that point to take the rasp out of it if that were to happen?

You may be OK, and without a cat you should gain a bit more up top for sure.

well i can say at altitude i can chirp my 1-2 shifts (a good solid chirp) with 3 people in the car  that definitely was not possible before (altitude takes away about 4-6%HP per thousand feet, im at roughly 5600ft.)

the headers will give u a louder deeper more defined tone , not to mention a nice power gain
its not really the headers that causes the raspyness ,its teh type of muffler/resonator/chamber that u use and how high flowing it is,
most cars not running catts will be raspy

But I have the stock manifolds on the car. I would like to put the MSDS headers on but I'm worried about the noise getting any louder than it already is. Anyone with similar setup would be most helpful. Thanks
I have MSDS Headers and a Trubendz cat back with the magnaflow muffler. I have no resonators and I just made a kitty delete pipe. I haven't got the exhaust back from coating yet so I can't comment on the note yet. When I was test fitting it, I started the car up to check for leaks etc. From what I rememeber the car was no louder at idle then before with the cat. On the road under load will be the real test.

You'll be happy, don't worry. Can't wait to see your car this summer.
