Does extractors/headers change exhaust noise?

Just need to know if headers/extractors change any noise/tone in the exhaust. Just contemplating if I need a resonator or not

My system is B16, with 2.25 cat back with twinloop

Thanks guys!

putting a nice header on it will DEFINITELY make it sound better :thumb:

At the moment 2.25 catback with twinloop sounds a tiny bit raspy when vtec kicks in
