Default GT SPEC HEADERS SOUND

Hi, if anyone could post sound clips of their cars with Gt spec headers, that would be great. I have recently bought some and know the sound of the car is supposed to change, but wanted to know what they sound like.

My mate has some and i don't really like the sound of the headers, but wanted to confirm all of them sound like it.

cheers.

Umm i was considering these, not sure now.

What other headers suitable for 500bhp that sound nice.

sorry for the hijack, but i'm sure you would like to know this as well.

I've got GT SPEC headers from Lateral on my car coupled with a 3" de-cat S/S system. Sound awesome in my opinion, I wouldn't say 'tinny' but definitely a higher pitched sound.
I was also a bit dubious before fitting them but so glad I did.

Just been trying to find a sound clip of my car but haven't got one on my phone.
All I can say is that everybody who has heard my car at full chat comment on the noise.
The other good thing we noticed while mapping was spool time, my 20G actually spooled alot earlier than the little VF28 i previously ran on the car.

Bit of a hard one when you take into account everyone has different exhausts.

Also, a Classic seems to sound a lot better with GT Spec headers etc than a newage.

Got a Rolling Road clip somewhere but thats with my RCM Team Ice system so load.

The burble is reduced at mid range and sound more throaty and much like a evo on WOT.

Thanks to all those who replied or posted videos etc.

The above cars all sound great and similar to mine as it is, and the exhaust note doesn't change the way i feared it would. Thanks for clearing up my query.

I think my mates car has a funny exhaust note because of his turbo-back exhaust rather than his headers.

Thanks once again
