I'd bet you lunch a pair of shorty headers on an otherwise stock 370z exhaust would increase in DBs at WOT under load. And it would only be further amplified by a midpipe + short tails. Exhaust components tends to be synergistic especially when it comes to scavenging and cfms.
The thin wall tubing alone would add noise 
But...yes I would imagine that the long tubes are always going to be superior, stuffing a clumsy collector closer to combustion rarely makes power unless there is a snail attached to it, but OP just wants noise :P |
It's possible it would be a bit louder, but like you said- only from a change in tubing. The 370 has a really good set of manifolds as it is. If the OP still has the OEM cats bolted to a set of headers, it's going to cork the majority of excess noise right back up.
