headers on a N/A?

[VR43000GT]

^ A downpipe would give it a throatier sound. Also try removing your resonator, it gives the intake a nice deep sound under acceleration.

If sound is the only thing youre going for, then I guess go ahead and give it a shot. The 3sx headers are more expensive than the OBX ones, but you have to see what its worth to you, since they will be a PITA to install. Personally, I would get a nice exhaust system (because with the headers, you'll only marginally notice the difference in sound quality if you're already running an aggressive exhaust setup, so the added cost might not make sense).

Also, when you get an exhaust system made, try to have the maximum possible text pipe length after your muffler (if you plan to run a muffler at all, that is). That is how a lot of these Mustangs and Firebirds and some trucks emit that "rumbling" and deep "gurgling" sound, because they have much longer test pipe's post-cat and post-muffler than most other vehicles. I have a large Magnaflow muffler mounted about midway undearneath, and have much longer pipes coming out the end, the car sounds pretty sweet. I'll post a pic of the underbody later so you can see where the muffler was mounted.

ok thanks for the info, im thinking about just getting a downpipe instead of headers.

[mr3000]

how do you think 2 flowmaster 40 series mufflers would sound with a hi-flow cat?

No point for two. Just get a single in dual out and have it placed where teh premuffler is. Theres not much room on the passenger side for anything more than a canister style muffler.
