I am an exhaust designer.
It's interesting what you are doing, but LOUD does rarely mean more power.
It's often symtomatic for flat spots, poor part throttle driveability and high fuel consumption.
If I were to design you an exhaust, I could get more power for you than you currently have with a 30dBA decrease in exhaust noise (enormous) WITH catalytic convertors, but a 15dBA increase in induction noise-which is obvious signs of an engine breathing a lot deeper.
I don't mean to spoil the fun, but my taste is for cars that are quiet and go like stink....it may cost a lot to do things properly in thin stainless, inconel and titanium but the results are astonishing.
In F1 it's true we go for all out power, the costs are obscene and the waste is to my mind equally loony.
I actually do work in F1 in the past+single seaters now, but again, the only exhaust designs which have been ultimately successful were those for the HONDA V12 F1 the Lamborgini 3.5 F1, and the cancelled (orphaned) Cosworth F1 V12 project.
Those were just VERY GOOD ENGINES to begin with.
All the others were V10 designs starting with the RENAULT RS series up until last season.
My morale of the tale:- The world is a very small place.
