    I want to invest in some headers and I want to get a pair that will make my truck sound badass. I have a MagnaFlow muffler and dual exhaust. I want a set that will make my truck louder. And suggestions on good headers for sound not speed. I know my truck isn't a race car so I'm not expecting to get more horses. I just want it to sound fucking badass. Any help is appreciated.

    I mean you can install Lc Engineering Headers, as far as sound it looks like you have already done what most people do to make there trucks louder.

    True, but I just think headers give the motor a little deeper sound. Do you agree? Or do u think it's a waste of alot of money

    The only 4 bangers that give the sound you crave twist high revs (over 7k without a sweat, or 9k like an S2000) or lumpy cams or boost. Mated with a tuned exhaust. Better yet, little Formula one motors at 1,000+ HP.

    A stock-ish barely 100hp power truck motor that's loud screams 'clueless'.

    Yep. Even the sixes sound like crap with loud exhaust imho. There's a couple that sound alright. But you're not gonna get that badass sound you're craving. I say don't waste your money. Pick out a muffler you like the sound of and roll with that. If you like loud, just go with a areo turbine. Or flowmaster. If you want a super clean, non crackling, non raspy, non popping exhaust, with a nice subtle growl to it when you stomp on it, go with a borla and a resonator. Or whatever muffler you like the tone of. Without a resonator it's gonna be loud, all the time, but sound like shit. Resonator quiets it down, but will be super clean and not annoying, all throughout the rpm range.

    If you want loud dump the exhaust into the cab although you might want to keep the window cracked a little
