Loudest exhaust set up out there?

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

Take a peek behind the heat shield sometime. There's no "thick wall" metal in there. Shorties aren't gonna be measurably louder if they're going through the stock cats.
