Yeah, it's loud

Don't worry, the TIG machine has been kept warm for Mr Simmons, we should have about 12 lbs or so worth of sound reduction to replace the much heavier yet loud cat back...

Otherwise the VOD has been eliminated as far as I'm concerned. Once the bottleneck (header) is changed, and we then tune for it, there is no more Valley of Death, and the top-end is maintained. You can see the dyno in the JDL thread, but that was from a tuned to a more tuned file. Once we get the 93 octane car the header we'll do the proper testing of stock, header only, tune only, header + tune to evaluate all. Then we may stick an exhaust or intake on after that, just want to make sure we have every variant of tunes for the folks who want to stay a bit more stock. I have a feeling a stock exhaust/intake but with header/tune combo, is going to do well here.
