Will i lose my burble/popping with a Rmw street header?

Thinking about RMW header, 380 injectors, and the rmw cam.

Currently have:

04mcs with alta 15% pulley! alta intake , dt bpv, and msd blaster coils, invidia exhaust.

When shifting or closed throttle deceleration, I hear popping/burbling which is my favorite noise in the world, will the above mods take away this noise?

Do You know if you could run the RMW header and use your Stock CATand not get a check engine light ?

As for the crackle crackle pop pop I have an 06 Mcs JCW and I removed the silencer and love the crackle cracle pop pop noise I just wish it was a little louder and im thinking about getting the same header, ive heard from numerous others on NAM that the RMW header with the JCW exhaust is one of the best set ups out there...I would assume that that noise would not go away from adding a header if anything it would intensify that sound.

The pop and burble will most likely be intensified with the RMW header.

I have no pop and burble at all. Im running the typical RMW set up. I believe that its mostly the tune And maybe my exhaust...

Id rather my car go like stink then pop and burble, but that's just me. I never asked jan about it nor did I ask for a tune that would pop and or burble. I was happy with 254whp. Oh and if your getting a tune and more parts do the 440s. Screw the 380 injectors.

you will get more, if anything. a really sweet amount of pop and burble. and no CEL. but it will be louder than the stock manifold.

You should not, most exhaust CEL's are caused by CAT issues, not the header of choice.

The header should not reduce the burble. However I have seen some cars lose it when getting a tune. Depending on your tuner they can even intensify the burble at your request . Its fun to have burble so loud it sounds like a gunshot and people duck .

Nope, I've tried everything. Can't get rid of the annoying pop/bang/fart in my R53.

You could make it go away with a tune.
