My first exhaust mod was installing SS headers to the standard system - seemed to rev & sound a little better above 4,000 rpm. No drone.
A couple of word of caution:
Removing the header bolts can be dangerous to your wallet - if they are corroded (you live in a rust area) they can snap off very easily, and removing the stubs can be very difficult.
You cannot re-use the plastic under tray as the headers fit lower than the standard items.
