exhaust question.

[DiS]

So if I want to get a header and keep the rest of my exhaust stock, how much will it change the sound of my car? I want my car to stay fairly quiet b/c I have to drive long distances a lot and loud exhaust gets old after a while.

Also does anyone have the Ebay Tsudo header. I doubt its as good as most others, but I'd consider one if they are ok.

deppending on which header you gonna go with. There is a header available that still utilizes a high flow CAT (I think thats wagner shorty) and also there is OBX header which eliminates 1st CAT and of course AWR header which also eliminates 1st CAT. You'll get more gains with AWR header if compared to all others. Although as far as the sound....it will get a bit louder with OBX and AWR headers....not sure about Wagner shorty one as you still will have a CAT present.

Inside the car, taking off to 60 mph. A little louder than stock.

Get a catback and it'll sound so much sweeter.

I have the OBX header with resistor fix - no CEL/codes ever, and I recently passed DC inspection

yea good call. Thats another thing about Protege and headers. You will have to get an electrical or mechanical fix. One or the other work fine. Look in the main "how-to" section for details.
