Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That will wake it up and make it a bit more fun to drive!

It's not a pig snorter. It's very mild. But it did absolutely change the note of the exhaust. Has a warble to it now.
You build race cars? I used race SCCA Datsun 510s.
Videos incoming...

Sounds good...Camera/mic placement might have affected the left side, but on the right side exhaust you could just hear a bit of overlap.
Race cars are more of a hobby (and Passion!) than anything for me, and have been for MANY years, though my focus has always been on the drag strip. Nothing like radical cams and the wonderfully glorious smell of race fuel to get the juices flowin'!
My road course days were spent on a motorcycle (back in the day), and though I would've liked to the get out on the track on 4 wheels, the time AND money commitments(s) were limitations I couldn't overcome. You know how it goes...When I had the time, I didn't have the money, and when I had the money, I didn't have the time!
