GSR's are loud enough stock, but as far as your question I have no idea.

Aftermarket headershave thinner walls versus stock, so it will make your car slightly louder. For reasons unknownst to me, my exhaust also sounded better after I installed my header. Optimal exhaust gas velocity = improved sound?

Since virtually all aftermarket header applications are tubular opposed to the OEM cast iron header piece, there will be a minimal sound change due to the thinner wall like someone said eariler. You won't notice it enough to be bothersome.
