Default Headers, 3" offroad x, 3" straight back, how loud?

Its obviously a 100% race car, how loud is this sucker gonna be? Anyone have vids? I know there is one track that I rarely go to (and NASA doesn't race at) that may have an issue with it: Harris Hill.

Old setup from this vid: LS7 cast manifolds, LS7 cats, 3" X, 3" straight pipes to dumps just behind the diff. Mic is mounted on the rear bumper:



New Setup: LG Super Pro 1 7/8 plus LG offroad X to 3" straight pipes that dump just behind the diff.

How many of you are doing headers and straight pipes? I'd really rather not hang more weight behind axle line if I can avoid it.

Weight behind the axle is not a bad thing.

I'm deaf and the car is still loud to me, but I'm used to it.
3" headers, no cats, straight pipes:

I'm guessing the mic wasn't even at the tailpipes.. ya that's loud all right.. but not worth changing either! Thanks Scott! Full race car sound here I come! Why do you say weight behind the axle isn't bad? You mean if its there to get better corner weights? I'm trying to get the car to 3150 race weight but it won't happen this year: 3230 is the new weight with this exhaust.
