Default engine/exhaust sound.

Since I have added the parts in my sig, power has increased significantly but it sounds diffrent than all of the sound clips I have heard posted on here.
It has a much deeper sound. When I'm have my foot in the gas out on the highway and let off, I don't get that "engine break" sound like many of the trucks I have seen clips for here.

I have the magnaflow 3.5 inch exhaust no headers. Whats the diffrence?

*forgive me if this is a noobish question, this is my first truck that I have modified*

Default RE: engine/exhaust sound.

it's probably the size of the pipe, and also the lack of a high flow cat. Headers will also increase the the popping noise. Also yours may sound louder becuase of the sound quality of the sound clip. You lose some sounds and fequencies due to the camera not being able to record them.

It had a rusted out exhaust when I bought it so I took it to the muffler shop and told them to put something on it that will sound good and give me the most power.
Will headers make it sound better?
Here is a clip (its kind of crappy took it with my camera)
