The header will not make your exhaust note louder. The exhaust not is a
function of the accoustic "dampening" in the mullfers and resonators.

The header will make you underhood noise a bit louder, but you won't
notice it except when you run the motor with the bonnet raised.

If you have some spare $$$ over the winter, either get a custom exhaust
made or think about one of the other systems from Falcon that the big
three sell. Go for the "mellow" sound.
