Default Exhaust Rumble

Have read somewhere that having ported headers could affect the exhaust rumble?

I think its if you have equal length headers you will loose some of the rumble. Yours are unequal at the moment which is why it sounds nice

Have equal length, can vouch for the fact you lose the burble.

Does however give you a whole new sound, a little more raspy. At full chat, it sounds like a jet engine(honestly).

Ok,remember I'am non-technical(I'am an arboriculturist for gods sake),so does this mean if I have my headers ported they become equal/more equal? Thanks.
