I am back from Cancun!
Thank you Art for the exhaust system!
As to Dan's question...some time in the near future (once I get the Corvette back together), I plan on taking some sound measurements to see if running the crossover tubes will make an appreciable drop in exhaust noise entering the cabin. In short, make the car quieter so that it is more girlfriend-friendly
I would essentially be running an OEM cat-back set up hooked up to my crazy build. To deal with the heat I will have all pipes coated with the same coating I used on the headers (because they work!) http://swaintech.com/race-coatings/race-coating-descriptions/white-lightning-exhaust-coatings/ the key feature to note is that this is a true ceramic coating that is .015" think as opposed to the paint type coatings that are only .002" thick.
Based on if the sound drop is enough I can always add some muffler inserts around the H-pipe section. We'll see how it goes...but this project is months down the road...I just wanted to get parts for it in the meantime.
Hope to report back some good results.
