Will head/intake change, change sound of car?
 

Will changing my heads to gt40ps and intake to a cobra or explorer change the way my car sounds at all? Right now I have stock heads stock intake stock cam and longtubes offroad h flows. I know the cam change would but curious if heads or intake change will change sound at all?

After I did my h/c/a, (GT-40 heads & intake w/ E-303 cam) I mainly just heard the cam, but when I got my other friends car by mine, (stock w/same exhust) I noticed I was a bit louder as well. (same stock compression)
Now when you put on a set of high flowing heads, more compression and more cubes is when you really notice the difference! There will be no need to compare the before and after for sound at that point. The more air you bring in and out the louder it will get.
Hope this helps

Yeah but see you did a cam... I don't plan on doing one, i'm sure that's why it got louder.... or maybe it was the heads, anyway thanks for the reply! :)

I am sure it will be louder, but nobody will probabley notice or untill you compare it with a car that was as loud as you were before the combo. If you are going for steath approach, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Exactly.............look at the top fuel funny cars and dragsters. They only have 500 cube engines but look look how much air those engines pull in and how loud they are.

Heck, the sound of my buddies 99GT changed significantly with a C&L meter and a WMS cold air pipe, so the more air in and out, the louder it shall be.

Same with mine. Got a LOT louder over my old 302 when I swapped engines...although the tone was almost identical until I swapped over to the Magnaflows. It sounds wicked when it start building cylinder pressure in 2nd and 3rd :)
