Thanks for those thoughts. I have to point out, though, that people have already indicated that different exhausts produce varying amounts of hiss with these ART pipes. So while it may never disappear completely, it sounds like there are some setups that are better at eliminating hiss than others.

I am hoping to hear some other cars with ART pipes and aftermarket CBEs. I'm interested to see what Motordyne comes up with on the exhaust front, but whatever it is will probably be too loud for my tastes anyway.
