Too raspy / buzzy otherwise?

 

My experience with it was that it was pretty loud after removing the cats, depending on what the rest of the exhaust system is like. Of course I had the exhaust dumped right before the rear axle at the time, but with pipes all the way out the back it would probably be ok.

 

 

 

Yep - that's why I scooped up your nitrous kit. If it's gonna be part time fun I'm doing it economically.

As to OPs question - "worth it" depends on how easily you can toss the funds at the truck with reckless abandon. If it's not something you even need to budget for - hell yeah, do it. If it's something you've saved up for can do yourself, I would argue barely, but it has some value. Especially if you're wanting volume. If it's a budgeted item including the install price - don't bother. HP/dollar just isnt there.

The headers were delivered and I put together a little unboxing video.


I plan on doing an install video too.

Cat delete it, and before you install the cat delete, put 2 small magnaflow resonators 1 on each pipe. It'll clean it up perfectly.

 

 

Yeah of course. There's a reason you generally "lose" boost when you increase flow. You're flowing the same cfm past the blower but now the engine is efficiently using said cfm. Now an intake if you had a restrictive one, you can actually increase boost because the problem of airflow was actually at the entrance of the blower and not the entrance to the engine.

When PD blowers start making more boost where before they weren't, it represents an airflow problem. You're building up boost that can't exit the intake manifold area on the other side of the blower. Usually means an exhaust (or intake cam/exhaust cam timing) problem.
