Loudest exhaust set up out there?

That is misleading.

AAM short tails + headers + a midpipe = WAY louder than short tails alone.

He said without getting rid of his cats...

I doubt changing the mid pipe will change the loudness very much.

I didn't say you had to get rid of your cats.
Headers do not eliminate your cats necessarily, neither does a mid-pipe.

And yes adding the mid-pipe to the short tails will make it significantly louder. I have heard with my own two ears

Any headers worth doing get rid of the cats. Shorty headers on this car are a waste of money and time. It's long tubes or nothing, and long tubes get rid of the cats, hence his comment.

Alrighty, semantics

Loudest exhaust with stock cats..shorty headers, mid-pipe, short tails

OP asked about the loudest setup. Not what makes more or less power.

With the stock cats in place, shorty headers are going to make very little difference in volume. Where are you getting your info from?

Been around for 15 years in road course, drag, NA applications, hondas, turbo subarus - new here but not 'new' at all. But I am glad to be here, enjoying my 370z very much.

I'd bet you lunch a pair of shorty headers on an otherwise stock 370z exhaust would increase in DBs at WOT under load. And it would only be further amplified by a midpipe + short tails. Exhaust components tends to be synergistic especially when it comes to scavenging and cfms.

The thin wall tubing alone would add noise

But...yes I would imagine that the long tubes are always going to be superior, stuffing a clumsy collector closer to combustion rarely makes power unless there is a snail attached to it, but OP just wants noise :P

That's just too loud. There was a member that did something similar and immediately took it off because it was just obnoxious.

I have AAM and I love them. They are loud and people will notice (also from miles away).
