Headers + Straight Pipes
I haven't heard any videos with this setup (MBH Headers then straight piped (Resonator deleted as well) back to stock mufflers so basically no cats or res. Is there anyone with this setup that can shed some light about how loud it is and if it is tolerable?
Thanks

Youtube it. But the sound you hear will be different than the sound I hear based on comps/speakers etc.
However, beyond speakers and in person, it's loud.
Let's put it this way, I have seen a lot more "Help! installed headers, too loud, how do I quiet it down?" threads than I have seen "Installed headers, not loud enough!" threads...

my car has agency headers and is straight piped. i bought it that way, its pretty frickin loud, especially in the mornings (sorry neighbors) and can be a bit much while driving. but im a young guy (22) so i dont mind it. my girlfriend HATES it though... i have some other videos on my channel of the car to give you sort of an idea. of course videos never do it justice

It'll be loud. As in you'll **** off your neighbors royally that they'll call the cops and file a noise complaint type of loud. Especially if you own a garage. Don't do it.
I plan to do it when my warranty is up though, but my neighbors love my car so I'm good hahaha. My neighbor told me just a few days ago, "Your car sounds like a jet turbine engine starting".

Straight pipe means no muffler as well. But I have the exact setup you seek. MBH Headers, MBH mids, MBH xpipe, MBH resonator delete. I only removed the resonators too achieve a much aggressive downshift sound which is lack luster in my current tune.

Where does MBH offer a resonator delete on their website? How do you compare the difference with and without the resonator?

You install everything leaving the resonator in and listen to it. And then you take the resonator out and listen to it. Decide which you like more and if it was resonator in just weld it back.

It is special request item done directly with the fabricator Ardent Performance. They are local here and my indie shop has a good relation with the owner. So I was able to get one special made just for me. This is where all my exhaust pieces came from.

Any catless setup with stock mufflers is going to be loud. The setup the OP is asking about will probably be the loudest of any. For comparison, here is mine stock vs LTHs, x-pipe, stock res and exhaust.
