Accord Performance?

[BadBowtie03]

I have a problem though i cannot stand the sound of 4 cylinders (no offense) and i dont want it real loud or anything... So would headers help at all if i didnt have an aftermarket muffler? Well I would think it would help it make a little more torque and it might open it up a little bit but i cant stand the buzzy whiiiiiinnnnnggggg sound of them.. Is there any quiet mufflers that gain any power? Or what about engine mods in general? Is there engine mods i could do so i dont have to make it be loud? Like maybe an intake,header,pulley and i dunno something else...
