if the op were to put the stock header on and still use the sti catback it would be pretty much the same loudness only it would not rumble/pulsate as much.
I agree 100% with this.
You will have a little bit of rumble with your STI catback but not as much as you currently have. Most of the rumble comes from the Borla style header.
