Headers alone make a big difference. Much deeper in note but I get a somewhat annoying rattle around 2.5k-3k RPM. Wouldn't be a big deal but that's the RPM range I am usually driving in.

did you install them yourself? its a silly thing but i never tightened my o2 sensors down all the way so they made a very annoying rattle around there ocassionally

Nope, I paid. The rattle seems like it is coming from the rear. I think it might be the flap which I already checked the vacuum line and oiled.

Might be time to change out the OEM exhaust.

ah ya that can do it. Sometimes the exhaust hangers can come loose. Or even the plate underneath holding the mid point of the exhaust up.

my exhaust setup cost me around 350 or 400 in total and i love it

I'm trying to find something that really isn't that loud. The headers really made a difference...too much sometimes.

so you lost power with the the TSE3 and headers?

what are you running now?

Lost torque, Hp went up a little but it wasnt noticable. I am just running headers with stock exhaust now. Finding an exhaust that I like is to much of a headache.

Ah...but did you find out why you lost torque?

You wouldn't happen to have a dyno plot with the AFR would you?

I had an TSE3 with headers, needless to say I sold the TSE3

It lost low end do to basically no backpressure. I am not arguind the backpressure thing. That is just what happend if you dont believe me go test it out yourself. Sorry I didn't dyno it, I dont realy have the money to throw away like that.
