Default front exit exhaust without a turbo?

I'm thinking about doing front exit exhaust. But I don't have a turbo. I need the back pressure though.Its a track only car. Just for bracket racing. Like it or hate it fender exit doesn't kick up dust and dirty up the car at some po-dunk race track that's dusty. And ground clearance. Just not sure about sound and performance.? Any thoughts?

Thanks. But that link doesn't really get into ls1 applications or what's needed for decent performance.

Why do you think you need the back pressure on a track only car? Depending on your cars power range it will likely make little difference and may even hurt performance. What's your setup?

You could also run oval exhaust out the side if ground clearance is an issue. http://www.spintechmufflers.com/oval...ng/cat_41.html

Oval pipe wouldn't hang down to far or you could run something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/BOOM-TUBE-EXHAUST-RIGHT-SIDE-EXIT-DUAL-3-5-INLETS-21-5-C-TO-C-68-LONG-ARCA-/121420658450?hash=item1c453c3712&vxp=mtr
I guess I don't see how you're going to get front exit headers to work any better than rear exit without making the pipe look like a slinky under the hood.
