If they are equal length then you wont get the burble.
You need the unequal length headers to keep some of the burble and even then it sounds raspy like a motorbike.
Looking at the advert it doesnt say which they are, but no burble then there equal

Looking at the pic they are unequal length, look at the difference in length on the pipes going to each head. The are stainless steel so you lose some of the burble straight away and as marx says will get a more raspy sound.

on the system its self there are 3 boxes/bafflers between the back box and the down pipe, does that mean it has a center cat and could that be the reason i am not getting the burble sound.

Thanks
