oh the "shorty" headers are not loud...nice in fact...its the race headers that are loud because they remove the cat and most aftermarket exhausts are not designed to quiet that much sound noise...thus people weld in resonators mid stream...anywho good plan...there are also high flow cat options to...if you want to keep a cat that is a good option...otherwise your in minnesota no emissions testing run no cat!! :twisted:

I just got a coldair intake. And now I will get the shorty headers in 2 weeks, is there any other ways to get a good boost of power with out spending alot of mone. Let me know what works best, and if you have any tips or tricks about the focus let me know

Lots of people say their UDP or throttlebody provided the most instant gain for low amounts of money. I installed both with my intake manifold and definitely noticed a difference. If you want big gains though, forced induction is the only way to go.
