I'm glad your wife has sympathy for people like me... mine fell off back in the 80's
I love how my car sounds. Don't care what other people think though. However, my girlfriend likes it. And my roommates girlfriend likes it. And my neighbor (back home) said he used it as an alarm clock back when I left early for high school. I apologized, but he said to keep it up

So How Much Louder Would It Be If 2 Of Them Were Placed Behind The Headers? Instead Of One In The Rear...

I replaced the dynomax bullet mufflers on my true duals with SLP Shotgun Resonators this weekend, it was terribly loud before, it's obnoxiously loud now. I did, however, manage to TERRIFY an NSX on saturday, that car would not come within half a mile after I threw a rev at it.
My gf loves it, it's the 'Fun Car' as she calls it.

a NSX is a very cool daily driver kind of car, anything can beat them just about. But they drive nice and get lots of looks, you should test drive one just to say you did. Theres a exotic dealership 30 minutes from here with Vipers/Zo6s ect, they are VERY cool about test drives and the salesman lets you go solo. First time I got to drive a C5 was from that place

Is it overpriced for the amount of power? Undoubtedly yes. I just don't see a mid engine, 290hp, $90k exotic as a 'cool daily driver'. Would it have been challenging when I was stock? Yes. Now? No. It's just fun to scare a mid engine, 290hp, $90k exotic. Most drivers are cocky and think the price tag equals a victory. Still have yet to find someone willing to race after hearing my car that wasn't a 17yr old bone-stock GT, one time. Oh well.

Why would you lose power with a cutout on each header?
Wouldn't that equal true duals with no backpressure.
I don't get it. The 327 in my '56 has headers running straight into cutouts (one on each side). Are you saying I would increase horsepower if somehow I could get both headers into one cutout?

It might gain HP in the very top end of the RPM range.
But under that, you will lose power.
I have a very built LSx motor...here is a dyno graph of capped and open. I have cutouts at each header on this motor, for drag only as I am always above 4500RPM's at the track.
I am geared to take advantage of that thin powerband.
