Ive ran my 461BBC (10:1 SCR) with open headers at the track and its just deafening. I tried glasspaks for a bit and it was still too loud for cruising and got alot of the wrong kind of attention. There's no way I would want to cruise down the highway with open headers or straight pipes, but to be able to open it up on call is beautiful.
