Oh yeah, that combination is going to be very loud during cold starts and moderate to full throttle. I basically have that same setup with a different brand of LTHs and axle back. Here’s a first cold start after tranny work and new Lund tunes for IMRC delete. Disregard the coughing and sputtering, that was corrected with a crank relearn procedure.In a similar situation myself in that headers + a tune are going to be my next upgrade.
From everything i've read, you can't really go wrong with Kooks LT headers. I'm just worried about the noise. Currently have the Roush catback exhaust w/ x pipe and it's already extremely loud. I feel like with headers my neighborhood is going to hate me (I don't have active exhaust on the vehicle)
Hoping others chime in as well.
Sounds incredible man! You're making me want to upgrade the headers sooner than later.Oh yeah, that combination is going to be very loud during cold starts and moderate to full throttle.

No Ghost Cam (afraid to run one for fear of damaging the cats). The car just needed a crank relearn. Shortly after that video, I took the car out for a test drive and it threw codes for cylinders 3, 4 and 7 misfires. It’s running right now though.Ghost cam!!
Thank you! Order some up and get ‘em installed.Sounds incredible man! You're making me want to upgrade the headers sooner than later.
I know, it was humor. Thats why I added the smiling faces.No Ghost Cam
I gotcha. I sure would love to have one to play with though, I ran one on my 2013 GT which was catless, so no problem there. Easy cam swap (without the extensive labor of actually putting cams in). I imagine a FBO car could even pass one off as actual cams, lol.I know, it was humor. Thats why I added the smiling faces.
Oh yeah, It’s very easy to hold a conversation and clearly hear the stereo with them. Cabin noise is a little louder, but nowhere near what one might think because the exhaust runs all the way out the back. If you dumped it after the X or H, I think that might make having a normal conversation more difficult.One question I have about headers in a S550.
Does the in cabin noise go up ? Can you hear the exhaust pulses in the tubes?
I really want a set but I do want to be able to hold a conversation, so no more cabin noise. I can always add bullet mufflers to tame the outside noise.
Agreed!If I put headers on my 17 350, I will absolutely run Ultimate Headers. Their flange design is top notch and fitment can't be beat.
