or are they just to make your car noisier?

Is the amount of increased performance worth the hell you are causing so many people in the United States now?
People are so consumed with making noise with their cars and trucks now that there is really nowhere to go for peace and quiet. Not even state parks. There's always some jerk with loud exhausts.
Being awakened at 5 in the morning with the NASCAR wannabe down the street is so wonderful. And to hear him roar by....bliss. Why can't stealth be something to work on? Who can have the quietest vehicle.
I won't even mention subwoofers with the bass coming through my walls. I'm so sick of all this noise. It doesn't sound good to me. I haven't heard the whisper of the wind, crickets at night...any environmental sounds in so long. I miss it. It's made me hate this life now. And if you think I'm some nutcase...I promise...I know so many people who feel the same way I do.
We're just helpless to do anything about it. My constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness no longer exists. Your exhausts would be like me screaming in your ear. You could drive away and not hear me. I don't have that choice anymore.

yes they do make a difference an aftermarket header and exhaust system are more free flowing than the stock ones, an air intake is also more free flowing and most of the time the filter is directed to be able to suck in cooler air than normal. and because of the more free flowing pipes in the exhaust and headers the sound is going to increase because there is not as much back pressure and it is no longer being muffled by the muffler

Yes, improving the air flow both into and out of the veh can increase performance.

Hi. Your engine is really nothing more than an air pump. When you open the throttle the pump makes more power. Open it further and it makes more. When fully open it is at it's airflow limit and you need to modify things to make more flow and power. And I personally LIKE the sound of power.

yeup, they make a difference. makes a better "air flow" to recieve more horse for the money in a matter of speaking.
Another thing to look into is the shutoff valve for the catty. =]
Haven't you ever heard a Corvette go by, that orgasmic hum is amazing. So is my rice-burners hum =]

Not so noisy at all, see what types of products you're using... Before install check your engine conditions and do some port and polish when needed...
