Quick video clip of the sound from this setup. Just to recap:

Sharkwerks/Evoms headers and 200 cell cats
Sharkwerks Bypass
Sharkwerks/Evoms software for this setup
Carnewal Remote Valve switch in Open position (valves open all the time)

This was just pulling out in 1st gear and not on it, as cops were waiting to pull people over leaving the event. I slowly accelerated in 1st gear to about 6k then shifted into 2nd

Sounds good, thanks for the clip. Has anybody dyno'ed these on a 3.8?

That sounds fantastic! My wife would HATE it! LOL

(She gripped at me when I put a cone air filter on her Miata cuz it made her car louder. No figuring them... )

Thats when you use the carnewal switch, close the valves, and quiet it down.

Ill work on getting a couple videos:

faster acceleration away with valves open and with valves closed

And if anyone has some specific requests, I can work on that as well

I used to run an Akrapovic Evolution Race system

Too loud for some venues, drones on highway runs - awesome sound on track and very lightweight

(2 out of 4 on the score card)

I now run
EVOMS headers
Sharky Bypass
OEM sides
Carnewal switch

Volume control for noise restricted tracks, no drone on highway runs, awesome sound on track but not as lightweight as titanium system

(3 out of 4 on the scorecard) incremental weight not too noticeable but in my opinion a unicorn solution

The only remaining caveat is the OEM sides and their heat dissipation so close to the tyres (a.k.a. tires) not enough track time yet to tell if this is a valid concern or not but I think perhaps not at this stage.

Have you thought about having the OEM sides Zircotec coated to reduce heat? Or maybe a product like this if you dont want to have the coating done:

Sounds really good. This is mine. Maybe yours is even a bit louder due to no center.
Cup headers, side delete, stock center.
