Default Headers, hfc, and catback. Will it be too much?

I currently have an hks true duel exhaust installed (along with jwt pop charger and plenum spacer). I also have a set of stillen headers (not installed) and i am planning on getting a set of berk hfc's to get installed at the same time, may as well. With headers, hfc and cat back do you think it will be too loud? I read just the hfc's really open it up, and well we all know what headers do haha.

HKS is only loud when you get on it. Otherwise i feel like it's pretty tame. I have all those mods except headers. IMO, i wouldnt get headers unless going FI. Get a tune instead because you will def be running lean and a tune pulls together all those mods.

Definitely get a tune after all the mods mentioned. What year Z ? Headers are pretty restrictive.

Headers are a waste of money.I have them on my car with HFC's&Nismo.
Headers were a waste.
What do headers "do"?
As far as "loud",it will be more of a wide open sound with a snarl with HFC's.
At idle,low rpm's not much different...pretty mild.

Vast majority of the work is done from the top. Lift would be nice for the steering linkage and cat removal. That's it.

Leave the headers alone so you have extra cash to buy some good parts. Headers are useless.
