I painted the pipes black so they are not as noticeable.. heres a pic 3/4 of way through install.

Nice! Looks exactly like mine and I agree, I don't think it's that loud until you get into the high RPM range. A friend of mine has a 'vette ZO6 and he removed the mufflers and ran straight pipes. His setup is ridiculously loud compared to my car.

Yeah I know that noise, I used to own a couple Vipers prior to the Z, One of which was a 94 RT/10. Pretty much straight pipes considering it was from the header to a 12'' muffler then out below the door.. really opens up once you get rid of there GIANT converter and mufflers.

I really dont notice it on mine at all? Its honestly quiet until you get past 2,500. When Im cruising on interstate (when Im actually moving) its dead quite unless I kick it down to pass a car..

Now, a Viper with straight pipes would sound incredible. I've heard a few with (I'm assuming) aftermarket exhausts but I know they were running straight pipes.

Kill the drone with side branch resonators, works perfectly and no power loss. Have them on my car and can vouch for their awesome drone-killing power.
